1. BUSINESS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION, AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
CNO Financial Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("CNO"), is a holding company for a group of insurance companies that develop, market and administer health insurance, annuity, individual life insurance and other insurance and financial services products. The terms "CNO Financial Group, Inc.", "CNO", the "Company", "we", "us", and "our" as used in these financial statements refer to CNO and its subsidiaries. Such terms, when used to describe insurance business and products, refer to the insurance business and products of CNO's insurance subsidiaries.
We focus on serving middle-income pre-retiree and retired Americans, which we believe are attractive, underserved, high growth markets. We sell our products through exclusive agents, independent producers (some of whom sell one or more of our product lines exclusively) and direct marketing.
Our unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect normal recurring adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. As permitted by rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") applicable to quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, we have condensed or omitted certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year.
The December 31, 2025 consolidated balance sheet data was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Accordingly, these interim consolidated financial statements should be read together with the consolidated financial statements included in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
When we prepare financial statements in conformity with GAAP, we are required to make estimates and assumptions that significantly affect reported amounts of various assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. For example, we use significant estimates and assumptions to calculate values for deferred acquisition costs, the present value of future profits, fair value measurements of certain investments (including derivatives), allowance for credit losses and other-than-temporary impairments of investments, assets and liabilities related to income taxes, liabilities for insurance products, liabilities related to litigation, guaranty fund assessment accruals, and fee revenue. If our future experience differs from these estimates and assumptions, our financial statements could be materially affected.
The accompanying financial statements are unaudited and include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. Our consolidated financial statements exclude transactions between us and our consolidated affiliates, or among our consolidated affiliates.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
In February 2021, we acquired DirectPath, LLC ("DirectPath", now known as Optavise, LLC ("Optavise") subsequent to its name change in April 2022). In April 2019, we acquired Web Benefits Design Corporation ("WBD"), which was subsequently merged into Optavise during 2023. These acquisitions formed our Worksite fee services business, providing personalized benefits education, advocacy and transparency, and communications services that help employers reduce healthcare costs and assist employees with making informed benefits decisions. We exited the fee services business as of June 30, 2026. Optavise goodwill and other intangible assets arising from the acquisitions were reflected in our Fee income segment.
The Company concluded that goodwill of $69.5 million and other assets, primarily intangible assets, of $27.2 million were fully impaired as of September 30, 2025. We recognized an additional impairment charge of $5.2 million related to other long-lived assets as a result of exiting the fee services side of the Worksite business during the fourth quarter of 2025. Goodwill and intangible assets were included within other assets on the consolidated balance sheet.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In July 2025, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2025-05, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets ("ASU 2025-05"). This update provides a practical expedient for entities when estimating expected credit losses to assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the asset. ASU 2025-05 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025 and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. ASU 2025-05 should be applied prospectively. We have adopted this standard for the annual period ending December 31, 2026 and for interim reporting periods within this annual period (i.e., for the quarter period ending March 31, 2026). This standard was adopted prospectively and did not have an impact on our financial position or results of operations.
We adopted Accounting Standards Update 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures ("ASU 2023-09") retrospectively effective January 1, 2025. ASU 2023-09 is intended to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures by requiring, among other things, the disclosure on an annual basis of: (i) specific categories in the rate reconciliation; and (ii) additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. In addition, ASU 2023-09 requires disclosure (on an annual basis) of the following information about income taxes paid: (i) the amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by federal (national), state, and foreign taxes; and (ii) the amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by individual jurisdictions in which income taxes paid (net of refunds received) is equal to or greater than 5 percent of total income taxes paid (net of refunds received). The adoption of ASU 2023-09 modified our annual disclosures but did not have an impact on our financial position or results of operations.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In November 2025, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2025-08, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Purchased Loans ("ASU 2025-08"). This update establishes a new category of acquired loans ("Purchased Seasoned Loans") subject to the gross-up approach. ASU 2025-08 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. ASU 2025-08 should be applied prospectively. We are currently evaluating the effect of ASU 2025-08 on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In September 2025, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2025-06, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software ("ASU 2025-06"). This update removes all references to prescriptive and sequential software development stages, and adds that entities are required to start capitalizing software costs when both of the following occur: 1) management has authorized and committed to funding the software project, and 2) it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. The update also removes Subtopic 350-50, Website Development Costs, and incorporates that guidance within Subtopic 350-40. ASU 2025-06 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027 and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. Entities will have the option to apply the updates prospectively, under a modified transition approach that is based on the status of the project and whether software costs were capitalized before the date of adoption, or retrospectively. We are currently evaluating the effect of ASU 2025-06 on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”), which requires disclosure of additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to the financial statements. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. ASU 2024-03 may be applied retrospectively or prospectively. The adoption of ASU 2024-03 will modify our disclosures but will not have an impact on our financial position or results of operations. We do not expect the impact to our disclosures to be material.
2. INVESTMENTS
We classify our fixed maturity securities into one of two categories: (i) "available for sale" (which we carry at estimated fair value with any unrealized gain or loss, net of any allowance for credit losses and income taxes, recorded as a component of shareholders' equity); or (ii) "trading", which we carry at estimated fair value with changes in such value recognized as either

___________________
net investment income (classified as investment income from policyholder and other special-purpose portfolios) or investment gains (losses). When the fair value option is elected, unrealized gains and losses are recognized in other investment gains (losses) in the consolidated statement of operations.
Trading securities include: (i) investments purchased with the intent of selling in the near term to generate income; and (ii) certain fixed maturity securities containing embedded derivatives for which we have elected the fair value option. The change in fair value of the income generating investments is recognized in income from policyholder and other special-purpose portfolios in the consolidated statement of operations. The change in fair value of securities with embedded derivatives is recognized in other investment gains (losses) in the consolidated statement of operations.
When we sell a security (other than trading securities), we report the difference between the sale proceeds and amortized cost (determined based on specific identification) as a realized investment gain or loss.
We review our available for sale fixed maturity securities with unrealized losses to determine whether such impairments are the result of credit losses. We analyze various factors to make such determinations including, but not limited to: (i) actions taken by rating agencies; (ii) default by the issuer; (iii) the significance of the decline; (iv) an assessment of our intent to sell the security before recovering the security's amortized cost; (v) an economic analysis of the issuer's industry; and (vi) the financial strength, liquidity, and recoverability of the issuer. We perform a security by security review each quarter to evaluate whether a credit loss has occurred.
In determining the credit loss component, we discount the estimated cash flows on a security by security basis. We consider the impact of macroeconomic conditions on inputs used to measure the amount of credit loss. For most structured securities, cash flow estimates are based on bond-specific facts and circumstances that may include collateral characteristics, expectations of delinquency and default rates, loss severity, prepayment speeds and structural support, including over-collateralization, excess spread, subordination and guarantees. For corporate bonds, cash flow estimates are derived by considering asset type, rating, time to maturity, and applying an expected loss rate.
If a portion of the decline is due to credit-related factors, we separate the credit loss component of the impairment from the amount related to all other factors. The credit loss component is recorded as an allowance and reported in other investment gains (losses) (limited to the difference between estimated fair value and amortized cost). The impairment related to all other factors (non-credit factors) is reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) along with unrealized gains (losses) related to fixed maturity investments, available for sale, net of tax and related adjustments. The allowance is adjusted for any additional credit losses and subsequent recoveries. When recognizing an allowance associated with a credit loss, the cost basis is not adjusted. When we determine a security is uncollectible, the remaining amortized cost will be written off.
If we intend to sell an impaired fixed maturity security, available for sale, or identify an impaired fixed maturity security, available for sale, for which it is more likely than not we will be required to sell before anticipated recovery, the difference between the fair value and the amortized cost is included in other investment gains (losses) and the fair value becomes the new amortized cost. The new cost basis is not adjusted for any subsequent recoveries in fair value.
The Company reports accrued investment income separately from fixed maturities, available for sale, and has elected not to measure an allowance for credit losses for accrued investment income. Accrued investment income is written off through net investment income at the time the issuer of the bond defaults or is expected to default on payments.

The following table sets forth the amortized cost and estimated fair value of fixed maturities, available for sale at June 30, 2026 by contractual maturity. Actual maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without penalties. Structured securities (such as asset-backed securities, agency residential mortgage-backed securities, non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities, collateralized loan obligations and commercial mortgage-backed securities, collectively referred to as "structured securities") frequently include provisions for periodic principal payments and permit periodic unscheduled payments.

Gross Unrealized Investment Losses
Our investment strategy is to manage, over a sustained period and within acceptable parameters of quality and risk, capital efficiency through active strategic asset allocation and investment management. Accordingly, we may sell securities at a gain or a loss to enhance the projected total return of the portfolio as market opportunities change, to reflect changing perceptions of risk, or to better match certain characteristics of our investment portfolio with the corresponding characteristics of our insurance liabilities.
The following table summarizes the gross unrealized losses and fair values of our investments with unrealized losses for which an allowance for credit losses has not been recorded, aggregated by investment category and length of time that such securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position at June 30, 2026 (dollars in millions):

Based on management's current assessment of investments with unrealized losses at June 30, 2026, the Company believes the issuers of the securities will continue to meet their obligations. We do not have the intent to sell securities with unrealized losses and it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell securities with unrealized losses prior to their anticipated recovery. If a loss is recognized from a sale subsequent to a balance sheet date due to these unexpected developments, the loss is recognized in the period in which we had the intent to sell the security before its anticipated recovery.

Mortgage Loans
Mortgage loans are carried at amortized unpaid balance, net of allowance for estimated credit losses. Interest income is accrued on the principal amount of the loan based on the loan's contractual interest rate. Payment terms specified for mortgage loans may include a prepayment penalty for unscheduled payoff of the investment. Prepayment penalties are recognized as investment income when received.
The allowance for estimated credit losses is measured using a loss-rate method on an individual asset basis. Inputs used include asset-specific characteristics, current economic conditions, historical loss information and reasonable and supportable forecasts about future economic conditions.
The mortgage loan balance was comprised of commercial and residential mortgage loans. At June 30, 2026, we held commercial mortgage loan investments with an amortized cost and fair value of $1,883.0 million and $1,767.9 million, respectively. At June 30, 2026, there were no commercial mortgage loans that were non-current or in the process of foreclosure.
The following table provides the amortized cost by year of origination and estimated fair value of our outstanding commercial mortgage loans and the underlying collateral as of June 30, 2026 (dollars in millions):

(a)Loan-to-value ratios are calculated as the ratio of: (i) the amortized cost of the commercial mortgage loans; to (ii) the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral.
At June 30, 2026, we held residential mortgage loan investments with an amortized cost and fair value of $1,490.3 million and $1,502.9 million, respectively. We consider current or non-current loan status as our primary credit quality indicator in conjunction with other quantitative and qualitative factors. We define non-current loans as those that are 90 or more days past-due and/or in nonaccrual status. At June 30, 2026, there were 40 residential mortgage loans that were non-current with an amortized cost of $29.2 million (of which, 11 loans with an amortized cost of $5.4 million were in foreclosure).
The following table summarizes changes in the allowance for credit losses related to mortgage loans for the period indicated (dollars in millions):

(c) Changes in the estimated fair value of fixed maturity investments with embedded derivatives that we have elected the fair value option (that are still held as of the end of the respective periods) were $(0.3) million and $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively and $(3.3) million and $6.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Our fixed maturity investments are generally purchased in the context of various long-term strategies, including funding insurance liabilities, so we do not generally seek to generate short-term realized gains through the purchase and sale of such securities. In certain circumstances, including those in which securities are selling at prices which exceed our view of their underlying economic value, or when it is possible to reinvest the proceeds to better meet our long-term asset-liability objectives, we may sell certain securities.
During the three months ended June 30, 2026, the $32.9 million of gross realized losses on sales of $1,136.3 million of fixed maturity securities, available for sale, primarily related to various lower-yielding corporate securities that were reinvested in higher-yielding securities, which were largely offset by capital gains.
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the $89.2 million of gross realized losses on sales of $2,793.4 million of fixed maturity securities, available for sale, primarily related to various corporate securities that were reinvested in higher-yielding securities, which were largely offset by capital gains.
During the three months ended June 30, 2025, the $21.8 million of gross realized losses on sales of $440.3 million of fixed maturity securities, available for sale, primarily related to various corporate securities.
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the $24.6 million of gross realized losses on sales of $525.1 million of fixed maturity securities, available for sale, primarily related to various corporate securities.
Future events may occur, or additional information may become available, which may necessitate future realized losses in our portfolio. Significant losses could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements in future periods.
At June 30, 2026, the amortized cost and carrying value of fixed maturities that were non-income producing were $5.7 million and $3.4 million, respectively.
3. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and, therefore, represents an exit price, not an entry price. We carry certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis, including fixed maturities, equity securities, trading securities, investments held by VIEs, derivatives, separate account assets and embedded derivatives. We carry our company-owned life insurance ("COLI"), which is invested in a series of mutual funds, at its cash surrender value which approximates fair value. In addition, we disclose fair value for certain financial instruments that are not carried at fair value, including mortgage loans, policy loans, cash and cash equivalents, insurance liabilities for interest-sensitive products and funding agreements, investment borrowings, notes payable and borrowings related to VIEs.
The degree of judgment utilized in measuring the fair value of financial instruments is largely dependent on the level to which pricing is based on observable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our view of market assumptions in the absence of observable market information. Financial instruments with readily available active quoted prices would be considered to have fair values based on the highest level of observable inputs, and little judgment would be utilized in measuring fair value. Financial instruments that rarely trade would often have fair value based on a lower level of observable inputs, and more judgment would be utilized in measuring fair value.
Valuation Hierarchy
There is a three-level hierarchy for valuing assets or liabilities at fair value based on whether inputs are observable or unobservable.

•Level 1 – includes assets and liabilities valued using inputs that are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Our Level 1 assets primarily include cash and cash equivalents and exchange-traded securities.
•Level 2 – includes assets and liabilities valued using inputs that are quoted prices for similar assets in an active market, quoted prices for identical or similar assets in a market that is not active, observable inputs, or observable inputs that can be corroborated by market data. Level 2 assets and liabilities include those financial instruments that are valued by independent pricing services using models or other valuation methodologies. These models consider various inputs such as credit rating, maturity, corporate credit spreads, reported trades and other inputs that are observable or derived from observable information in the marketplace or are supported by transactions executed in the marketplace. Financial assets in this category primarily include: certain publicly registered and privately placed corporate fixed maturity securities; certain government or agency securities; certain mortgage and asset-backed securities; certain equity securities; most investments held by our consolidated VIEs; and derivatives such as call options. Financial liabilities in this category include investment borrowings, notes payable and borrowings related to VIEs.
•Level 3 – includes assets and liabilities valued using unobservable inputs that are used in model-based valuations that contain management assumptions. Level 3 assets and liabilities include those financial instruments whose fair value is estimated based on broker-dealer quotes, pricing services or internally developed models or methodologies utilizing significant inputs not based on, or corroborated by, readily available market information. Financial assets in this category include certain corporate securities, certain structured securities, mortgage loans, policy loans and other less liquid securities. Financial liabilities in this category include our insurance liabilities for interest-sensitive products, which includes embedded derivatives and market risk benefit ("MRB") related to our fixed indexed annuity products, and funding agreements since their values include significant unobservable inputs, including actuarial assumptions.
At each reporting date, we classify assets and liabilities into the three input levels based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the measurement of fair value for each asset and liability reported at fair value. This classification is impacted by a number of factors, including the type of financial instrument, whether the financial instrument is new to the market and not yet established, the characteristics specific to the transaction and overall market conditions. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement and the ultimate classification of each asset and liability requires judgment and is subject to change from period to period based on the observability of the valuation inputs.
The vast majority of our assets carried at fair value use Level 2 inputs for the determination of fair value. These fair values are obtained primarily from independent pricing services, which use Level 2 inputs for the determination of fair value. Our Level 2 assets are valued as follows:
Fixed maturities available for sale, equity securities and trading securities
Corporate securities are generally priced using market and income approaches using independent pricing services. Inputs generally consist of trades of identical or similar securities, quoted prices in inactive markets, issuer rating, benchmark yields, maturity and credit spreads.
U.S. Treasuries and obligations of U.S. Government corporations and agencies are generally priced using the market approach. Inputs generally consist of trades of identical or similar securities, quoted prices in inactive markets and maturity.
States and political subdivisions are generally priced using the market approach using independent pricing services. Inputs generally consist of trades of identical or similar securities, quoted prices in inactive markets, new issuances and credit spreads.
Foreign governments are generally priced using the market approach using independent pricing services. Inputs generally consist of trades of identical or similar securities, quoted prices in inactive markets, new issuances, benchmark yields, credit spreads and issuer rating.
Asset-backed securities, agency and non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities, collateralized loan obligations and commercial mortgage-backed securities are generally priced using market and income

approaches using independent pricing services. Inputs generally consist of quoted prices in inactive markets, spreads on actively traded securities, expected prepayments, expected default rates, expected recovery rates and issue specific information including, but not limited to, collateral type, seniority and vintage.
Equity securities are generally priced using the market approach. Inputs generally consist of trades of identical or similar securities, quoted prices in inactive markets, issuer rating, benchmark yields, maturity and credit spreads.
Investments held by VIEs
Corporate securities are generally priced using market and income approaches using independent pricing services. Inputs generally consist of trades of identical or similar securities, quoted prices in active markets, issuer rating, benchmark yields, maturity, and credit spreads.
Other invested assets - derivatives
The fair value measurements for derivative instruments, including embedded derivatives requiring bifurcation, are determined based on the consideration of several inputs including closing exchange or over-the-counter market price quotes, time value and volatility factors underlying options, market interest rates and non-performance risk.
Third-party pricing services normally derive security prices through recently reported trades for identical or similar securities making adjustments through the reporting date based upon observable market information. If there are no recently reported trades, the third-party pricing services may use matrix or model processes to develop a security price where future cash flow expectations are discounted at an estimated risk-adjusted market rate. The number of prices obtained for a given security is dependent on the Company's analysis of such prices as further described below.
As the Company is responsible for the determination of fair value, we have controls designed to ensure that the fair values received from third-party pricing sources are reasonable and the valuation techniques and assumptions used appear reasonable and consistent with prevailing market conditions. Additionally, when inputs are provided by third-party pricing sources, we have controls in place to review those inputs for reasonableness. As part of these controls, we perform monthly quantitative and qualitative analysis on the prices received from third parties to determine whether the prices are reasonable estimates of fair value. The Company's analysis includes: (i) a review of the methodology used by third-party pricing services; (ii) where available, a comparison of multiple pricing services' valuations for the same security; (iii) a review of month to month price fluctuations; (iv) a review to ensure valuations are not unreasonably dated; and (v) back testing to compare actual purchase and sale transactions with valuations received from third parties. As a result of such procedures, the Company may conclude a particular price received from a third-party is not reflective of current market conditions. In those instances, we may request additional pricing quotes or apply internally developed valuations. However, the number of such instances is insignificant and the aggregate change in value of such investments is not materially different from the original prices received.
The categorization of the fair value measurements of our investments priced by independent pricing services was based upon the Company's judgment of the inputs or methodologies used by the independent pricing services to value different asset classes. The Company categorizes such fair value measurements based upon asset classes and the underlying observable or unobservable inputs used to value such investments.
For securities that are not priced by pricing services and may not be reliably priced using pricing models, we obtain broker quotes. These broker quotes are non-binding and represent an exit price, but assumptions used to establish the fair value may not be observable and therefore represent Level 3 inputs. Approximately 96 percent of our Level 3 fixed maturity securities and trading securities were valued using unadjusted broker quotes or broker-provided valuation inputs. The remaining Level 3 fixed maturity investments do not have readily determinable market prices and/or observable inputs. For these securities, we use internally developed valuations. Key assumptions used to determine fair value for these securities may include risk premiums, projected performance of underlying collateral and other factors involving significant assumptions which may not be reflective of an active market. For certain investments, we use a matrix or model process to develop a security price where future cash flow expectations are discounted at an estimated market rate. The pricing matrix incorporates term interest rates as well as a spread level based on the issuer's credit rating, other factors relating to the issuer, and the

(a)Purchases, sales, issuances and settlements represent the activity that occurred during the period that results in a change of the asset but does not represent changes in fair value for the instruments held at the beginning of the period. Such activity primarily consists of purchases and sales of fixed maturity and equity securities. There were no issuances or settlements during the three months ended June 30, 2026.
(b)Transfers into Level 3 are the result of unobservable inputs utilized within valuation methodologies for assets that were previously valued using observable inputs. Transfers out of Level 3 are due to the use of observable inputs in valuation methodologies as well as the utilization of independent pricing service information for certain assets that the Company is able to validate.

________________
(a)Purchases, sales, issuances and settlements represent the activity that occurred during the period that results in a change of the asset but does not represent changes in fair value for the instruments held at the beginning of the period. Such activity primarily consists of purchases and sales of fixed maturity and equity securities. There were no issuances or settlements during the six months ended June 30, 2025.
(b)Transfers into Level 3 are the result of unobservable inputs utilized within valuation methodologies for assets that were previously valued using observable inputs. Transfers out of Level 3 are due to the use of observable inputs in valuation methodologies as well as the utilization of independent pricing service information for certain assets that the Company is able to validate. Transfers out of Level 3 other invested assets include $92.8 million of residual tranches that are valued based on our ownership share of the equity of the investee, as reported to us by the General Partner. These are not held at fair value and have been transferred out of Level 3.
Realized and unrealized investment gains and losses presented in the preceding tables represent gains and losses during the time the applicable financial instruments were classified as Level 3. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on Level 3 assets are primarily reported in either net investment income for policyholder and other special-purpose portfolios or investment gains (losses) within the consolidated statement of operations; or accumulated other comprehensive loss within shareholders' equity based on the appropriate accounting treatment for the instrument. The amount presented for gains (losses) included in our net income for assets held as of the reporting date primarily represents: (i) the change in the allowance for credit losses for fixed maturities, available for sale; and (ii) changes in fair value of equity securities and trading securities that are held as of the reporting date. The amount presented for gains (losses) included in other comprehensive loss for assets held as of the reporting date primarily represents changes in the fair value of fixed maturities, available for sale, that are held as of the reporting date.
At June 30, 2026, 76 percent of our Level 3 fixed maturities, available for sale, were investment grade and 70 percent of our Level 3 fixed maturities, available for sale, consisted of corporate securities.

(b) Asset-backed securities - The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of these asset-backed securities is discount margin added to the applicable risk-free rate. Significant increases (decreases) in discount margin in isolation would have resulted in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement.
(c) Corporate and asset-backed securities - The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of these securities is percentage of recovery expected. Significant increases (decreases) in percentage of recovery expected in isolation would have resulted in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement.
(d) Equity securities - The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of these equity securities is multiples of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"). Generally, increases (decreases) in the EBITDA multiples would result in higher (lower) fair value measurements.
(e) Market risk benefits – Many of our fixed indexed annuity products include a guaranteed living withdrawal benefit ("GLWB") that is considered a MRB. The calculation of the value of MRBs is based on significant unobservable inputs including nonmarket assumptions related to surrender rates, partial withdrawal rates, mortality, GLWB utilization and non-performance risk. These assumptions are based on actuarial estimates and past experience. Increases in assumed surrender rates would generally decrease the value of a MRB liability. Increases in partial withdrawal rates would generally decrease the value of a MRB liability. A decrease in the mortality assumption would generally increase the MRB liability. Increases in utilization rates would generally increase the value of a MRB liability. Increases in non-performance risk spread decrease the MRB liability.
(f) Embedded derivatives related to fixed indexed annuity products are classified as policyholder account liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of our embedded derivatives associated with fixed indexed annuity products are surrender rates, partial withdrawal rates, mortality, GLWB utilization, option budget, and non-performance risk. Assumed surrender rates, partial withdrawal rates, and mortality rates are used to project how long the contracts remain in force. Generally, the longer the contracts are assumed to be in force the higher the fair value of the embedded derivative. Increases (decreases) in utilization rates would generally increase (decrease) the value of the embedded derivative. Increases (decreases) in option budget in isolation would have resulted in a higher (lower) fair value measurement. Increases in non-performance risk spread result in a lower fair value measurement.

________________
(a) The weighted average is based on the relative fair value of the related assets or liabilities.
(b) Asset-backed securities - The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of these asset-backed securities is discount margin added to the applicable risk-free rate. Significant increases (decreases) in discount margin in isolation would have resulted in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement.
(c) Corporate and asset-backed securities - The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of these securities is percentage of recovery expected. Significant increases (decreases) in percentage of recovery expected in isolation would have resulted in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement.
(d) Equity securities - The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of these equity securities is multiples of EBITDA. Generally, increases (decreases) in the EBITDA multiples would result in higher (lower) fair value measurements.
(e) Market risk benefits – Many of our fixed indexed annuity products include a GLWB that is considered a MRB. The calculation of the value of MRBs is based on significant unobservable inputs including nonmarket assumptions related to surrender rates, partial withdrawal rates, mortality, GLWB utilization and non-performance risk. These assumptions are based on actuarial estimates and past experience. Increases in assumed surrender rates would generally decrease the value of a MRB liability. Increases in partial withdrawal rates would generally decrease the value of a MRB liability. A decrease in the mortality assumption would generally increase the MRB liability. Increases in utilization rates would generally increase the value of a MRB liability. Increases in non-performance risk spread decrease the MRB liability.
(f) Embedded derivatives related to fixed indexed annuity products are classified as policyholder account liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of our embedded derivatives associated with fixed indexed annuity products are surrender rates, partial withdrawal rates, mortality, GLWB

utilization, option budget, and non-performance risk. Assumed surrender rates, partial withdrawal rates, and mortality rates are used to project how long the contracts remain in force. Generally, the longer the contracts are assumed to be in force the higher the fair value of the embedded derivative. Increases (decreases) in utilization rates would generally increase (decrease) the value of the embedded derivative. Increases (decreases) in option budget in isolation would have resulted in a higher (lower) fair value measurement. Increases in non-performance risk spread result in a lower fair value measurement.

4. LIABILITIES FOR INSURANCE PRODUCTS
The liability for future policy benefits is determined based on numerous assumptions. The most significant assumptions for our life and annuity business are based on our experience and, in cases of limited experience, industry experience. Mortality and lapse/withdrawal rates also take into consideration future expectations in policyholder behavior that may vary from past experience. For our health business, mortality rates, lapse rates, morbidity assumptions and future rate increases are based on our experience and, in cases of limited experience, industry experience. Such assumptions also consider future expectations in policyholder behavior that may vary from past experience.

Many of our fixed indexed annuity products include a GLWB that is considered a MRB. The calculation of MRBs includes market assumptions (interest rate, equity returns, volatility and dividend yields) and nonmarket assumptions (mortality rates, surrender and withdrawal rates, GLWB utilization and spreads). Market assumptions are updated quarterly to reflect current market conditions.
The following table presents the balance of and changes in MRBs associated with our fixed indexed annuities (dollars in millions):

6. EARNINGS PER SHARE
A reconciliation of net income and shares used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share is as follows (dollars in millions and shares in thousands):

| Three months ended |  | Six months ended
| June 30, |  | June 30,
| 2026 |  | 2025 |  | 2026 |  | 2025
Net income for basic and diluted earnings per share | $ | 125.9 |  |  | $ | 91.8 |  |  | $ | 163.6 |  |  | $ | 113.3 |
Shares: |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Weighted average shares outstanding for basic earnings per share | 93,194 |  |  | 98,572 |  |  | 93,636 |  |  | 99,658 |
Effect of dilutive securities on weighted average shares: |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Amounts related to employee benefit plans | 1,758 |  |  | 1,814 |  |  | 1,909 |  |  | 2,070 |
Weighted average shares outstanding for diluted earnings per share | 94,952 |  |  | 100,386 |  |  | 95,545 |  |  | 101,728 |

Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Restricted shares (including our performance units) are not included in basic earnings per

share until vested. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if outstanding stock options were exercised and restricted stock was vested. The dilution from options and restricted shares is calculated using the treasury stock method. Under this method, we assume the proceeds from the exercise of the options (or the unrecognized compensation expense with respect to restricted stock and performance units) will be used to purchase shares of our common stock at the average market price during the period, reducing the dilutive effect of the exercise of the options (or the vesting of the restricted stock and performance units).
7. BUSINESS SEGMENTS
We view our operations as three insurance product line segments (annuity, health and life) and the investment and fee income segments. Our segments are aligned based on their common characteristics, comparability of profit margins and the way the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") makes operating decisions and assesses the performance of the business. Our CODM is the Chief Executive Officer.
Our insurance product line segments (annuity, health and life) include marketing, underwriting and administration of the policies our insurance subsidiaries sell. The business written in each of the three product categories through all of our insurance subsidiaries is aggregated allowing management and investors to assess the performance of each product category. When analyzing profitability of these segments, we use insurance product margin as the measure of profitability, which is: (i) insurance policy income; and (ii) net investment income allocated to the insurance product lines; less (i) insurance policy benefits; (ii) interest credited to policyholders; (iii) amortization of deferred acquisition costs and present value of future profits; (iv) non-deferred commissions; and (v) advertising expense. Net investment income is allocated to the product lines using the book yield of investments backing the block of business, which is applied to the average insurance liabilities, net of insurance intangibles, for the block in each period. Net insurance liabilities for the purpose of allocating investment income to product lines are equal to: (i) policyholder account values for interest sensitive products; (ii) total reserves before the fair value adjustments reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), if applicable, for all other products; less (iii) amounts related to reinsured business; (iv) deferred acquisition costs; (v) the present value of future profits; and (vi) the value of unexpired options credited to insurance liabilities.
Income from insurance products is the sum of the insurance product margins of the annuity, health and life product lines, less expenses allocated to the insurance product lines. It excludes the income from our fee income business, investment income not allocated to product lines, net expenses not allocated to product lines (primarily holding company expenses) and income taxes. Management believes insurance product margin and income from insurance products provides an additional understanding of the business and a more meaningful analysis of the results of our insurance product lines.
We market our products through the Consumer and Worksite Divisions that reflect the customers served by the Company. The Consumer and Worksite Divisions are primarily focused on marketing insurance products, several types of which are sold in both divisions and underwritten in the same manner.
The Consumer Division serves individual consumers, engaging with them on the phone, virtually, online, face-to-face with agents, or through a combination of sales channels. This structure unifies consumer capabilities into a single division and integrates the strength of our agent sales forces with one of the largest direct-to-consumer insurance businesses with proven experience in advertising, web/digital and call center support.
The Worksite Division focuses on the sale of voluntary insurance benefits, including supplemental health and life insurance products in the workplace for businesses, associations, and other membership groups, interacting with customers at their place of employment and virtually.
The investment segment involves the management of our capital resources, including investments and the management of corporate debt and liquidity. Our measure of profitability of this segment is the total net investment income not allocated to the insurance products. Investment income not allocated to product lines represents net investment income less: (i) equity returns credited to policyholder account balances; (ii) the investment income allocated to our product lines; (iii) interest expense on notes payable, investment borrowings and financing arrangements; (iv) expenses related to the Bankers Life and Casualty Company ("Bankers Life") funding agreement backed notes ("FABN") program; and (v) certain expenses related to benefit plans that are offset by special-purpose investment income; plus (vi) the impact of annual option forfeitures related to fixed indexed annuity surrenders. Investment income not allocated to product lines includes investment income on investments in

excess of amounts allocated to product lines, investments held by our holding companies, the spread we earn from our Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") investment borrowing and FABN programs and variable components of investment income (including call and prepayment income, adjustments to returns on structured securities due to cash flow changes, income (loss) from COLI and alternative investment income not allocated to product lines), net of interest expense on corporate debt and financing arrangements. The spread earned from our FHLB investment borrowing and FABN programs includes the investment income on the matched assets less: (i) interest on investment borrowings related to the FHLB investment borrowing program; (ii) interest credited on funding agreements; and (iii) amortization of deferred acquisition costs related to the FABN program.
Our fee income segment includes the earnings generated from sales of third-party insurance products (primarily Medicare Advantage), services provided to employers through our Worksite Division and the operations of our broker-dealer and registered investment advisor. In November 2025, we announced our intention to exit the fee services business within our Worksite Division to sharpen our focus on the core insurance business. As a result, beginning in the fourth quarter of 2025, the net results of this business are no longer presented within the fee income segment, but are presented within net loss related to divested business as a reconciling item to net income. The exit of the fee services business was substantially complete as of June 30, 2026.
Our CODM allocates resources and assesses the performance of each operating segment based on the respective
product line insurance margin, investment income not allocated, and fee income metrics described above.
Expenses not allocated to product lines include the expenses of our corporate operations, excluding interest expense on debt.
We measure segment performance by excluding total investment gains (losses), changes in fair value of embedded derivative liabilities and MRBs, fair value changes related to the agent deferred compensation plan, income taxes, costs related to our three-year project to modernize certain elements of our technology ("TechMod") that are incremental to our normal spend and will not recur following implementation, goodwill and other asset impairment expenses and other non-operating items including earnings attributable to VIEs ("pre-tax operating earnings") because we believe that this performance measure is a better indicator of the ongoing business and trends in our business. Our primary investment focus is on investment income to support our liabilities for insurance products as opposed to the generation of investment gains (losses), and a long-term focus is necessary to maintain profitability over the life of the business.
Investment gains (losses), changes in fair value of embedded derivative liabilities and MRBs, fair value changes related to the agent deferred compensation plan, costs related to our TechMod initiative incremental to our normal spend that will not recur following implementation and other non-operating items consisting primarily of earnings attributable to VIEs depend on market conditions or represent unusual items that do not necessarily relate to the underlying business of our segments. Investment gains (losses) and changes in fair value of embedded derivative liabilities and MRBs may affect future earnings levels since our underlying business is long-term in nature and changes in our investment portfolio may impact our ability to earn the assumed interest rates needed to maintain the profitability of our business.

8. DERIVATIVES
The Company uses freestanding derivatives to hedge policyholder features that themselves are derivatives embedded within certain of our annuity and life insurance products. These freestanding derivatives, which are not designated as hedging instruments, are held at fair value and are summarized as follows (dollars in millions):

| June 30, 2026 |  | December 31, 2025
Assets: |  |  |
Other invested assets: |  |  |
Fixed indexed call options | $ | 294.2 |  |  | $ | 323.5 |
Reinsurance receivables | (15.9) |  |  | (15.3) |
Total assets | $ | 278.3 |  |  | $ | 308.2 |
Liabilities: |  |  |
Embedded derivatives related to fixed indexed annuities at fair value: |  |  |
Policyholder account balances | $ | 1,676.7 |  |  | $ | 1,600.6 |

Our fixed indexed annuity products provide a guaranteed minimum rate of return on the fixed fund portion of the contracts and a higher potential return on the index portion of the contract that is based on a percentage (the "participation rate") of the amount of increase in the value of a particular index, such as the Standard & Poor's 500 Index, over a specified period. We are generally able to change the participation rate at the beginning of each index period (typically on each policy anniversary date), subject to contractual minimums. The Company accounts for the options attributed to the policyholder for the estimated life of the contract as embedded derivatives. We are required to record the embedded derivatives related to our fixed indexed annuity products at estimated fair value. These accounting requirements often create volatility in the earnings from these products. We typically buy call options (including call spreads) referenced to the applicable indices in an effort to offset or hedge potential increases to policyholder benefits resulting from increases in the particular index to which the policy's return is linked. The notional amount of these options was $4.5 billion and $4.5 billion at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
Purchases of fixed indexed call options that are used to hedge the effects of certain policyholder benefits were $102.3 million and $102.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Sales, which generally represent option exercises, were $228.0 million and $181.7 million, respectively, during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.
In addition, we are required to establish an embedded derivative related to a modified coinsurance agreement pursuant to which we assume the risks of a block of health insurance business. The embedded derivative represents the mark-to-market adjustment for $68.4 million in underlying investments held by the ceding reinsurer at June 30, 2026.
We purchase certain fixed maturity securities that contain embedded derivatives that are required to be held at fair value on the consolidated balance sheet. We have elected the fair value option to carry the entire security at fair value with changes in fair value reported in other investment gains (losses) on the consolidated statement of operations.

Derivative Counterparty Risk
If the counterparties to the call options fail to meet their obligations, we may recognize a loss. We limit our exposure to such a loss by diversifying among several counterparties believed to be strong and creditworthy. At June 30, 2026, all of our counterparties were rated "A" or higher by S&P Global Ratings ("S&P").
The Company and its subsidiaries are parties to master netting arrangements with its counterparties related to entering into various derivative contracts.
The following table summarizes information related to derivatives with master netting arrangements or collateral as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 (dollars in millions):

9. THIRD-PARTY REINSURANCE
Ceded premiums and other costs of ceding business to reinsurers totaled $37.4 million and $41.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $76.4 million and $84.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. We deduct this cost from insurance policy income. Reinsurance recoveries netted against insurance policy benefits totaled $90.3 million and $84.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $176.8 million and $178.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
From time to time, we assume insurance from other companies. Any costs associated with the assumption of insurance are amortized consistent with the method used to amortize deferred acquisition costs. Reinsurance premiums assumed totaled $3.2 million and $3.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $6.5 million and $7.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Insurance policy benefits related to reinsurance assumed totaled $8.0 million and $5.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $14.4 million and $11.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

10. INCOME TAXES
The Company's interim tax expense is based upon the estimated annual effective tax rate for the respective period. Under authoritative guidance, certain items are required to be excluded from the estimated annual effective tax rate calculation. Such items include changes in judgment about the realizability of deferred tax assets resulting from changes in projections of income expected to be available in future years, and items deemed to be unusual, infrequent, or that cannot be reliably estimated. In these cases, the actual tax expense or benefit applicable to that item is treated discretely and is reported in the same period as the related item.
The components of income tax expense are as follows (dollars in millions):

| Three months ended |  | Six months ended
| June 30, |  | June 30,
| 2026 |  | 2025 |  | 2026 |  | 2025
Current tax expense | $ | 13.7 |  |  | $ | 2.7 |  |  | $ | 14.1 |  |  | $ | 3.5 |
Deferred tax expense | 20.1 |  |  | 23.5 |  |  | 30.4 |  |  | 29.0 |
Total income tax expense | $ | 33.8 |  |  | $ | 26.2 |  |  | $ | 44.5 |  |  | $ | 32.5 |

A reconciliation of the U.S. statutory corporate tax rate to the estimated annual effective tax rate, reflected in the consolidated statement of operations is as follows:

| Six months ended
| June 30,
| 2026 |  | 2025
U.S. statutory corporate rate | 21.0 | % |  | 21.0 | %
Non-taxable income and nondeductible benefits, net | (1.4) |  |  | (0.8) |
State taxes | 1.8 |  |  | 2.1 |
Effective tax rate | 21.4 | % |  | 22.3 | %

The components of the Company's income tax assets and liabilities are summarized below (dollars in millions):

| June 30, 2026 |  | December 31, 2025
Deferred tax assets: |  |  |
Net federal operating loss carryforwards | $ | 188.7 |  |  | $ | 205.0 |
Net state operating loss carryforwards | 37.1 |  |  | 38.0 |
Capital loss carryforwards | 12.9 |  |  | 11.3 |
Insurance liabilities | 364.0 |  |  | 362.3 |
Indirect costs allocable to self-constructed real estate assets | 0.9 |  |  | 0.9 |
Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) | 330.8 |  |  | 310.3 |
Other | 16.2 |  |  | 19.2 |
Gross deferred tax assets | 950.6 |  |  | 947.0 |
Deferred tax liabilities: |  |  |
Investments | (49.3) |  |  | (47.9) |
Present value of future profits, deferred acquisition costs, and sales inducements | (200.1) |  |  | (187.4) |
Gross deferred tax liabilities | (249.4) |  |  | (235.3) |
Net deferred tax assets | 701.2 |  |  | 711.7 |
Current income taxes prepaid (accrued) | 8.5 |  |  | 1.6 |
Income tax assets, net | $ | 709.7 |  |  | $ | 713.3 |

Our income tax expense includes deferred income taxes arising from temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and NOLs. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply in the years in which temporary differences are expected to be recovered or paid. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in earnings in the period when the changes are enacted.
A reduction of the net carrying amount of deferred tax assets by establishing a valuation allowance is required if, based on the available evidence, it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, all available evidence, both positive and negative, are considered to determine whether, based on the weight of that evidence, a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is needed. This assessment requires significant judgment and considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of current and cumulative losses, forecasts of future profitability, the duration of carryforward periods, our experience with operating loss and tax credit carryforwards expiring unused, and tax planning strategies.
We evaluate the need to establish a valuation allowance for our deferred income tax assets on an ongoing basis using a deferred tax valuation model. Our model is adjusted to reflect changes in our projections of future taxable income. Our estimates of future taxable income are based on evidence we consider to be objectively verifiable. Such estimates are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties and the extent to which actual impacts differ from the assumptions used in our deferred tax valuation model. Based on our assessment, we have concluded that it is more likely than not that our net deferred tax assets of $701.2 million will be realized through future taxable earnings.
Recovery of our deferred tax asset is dependent on achieving the level of future taxable income projected in our deferred tax valuation model and failure to do so could result in the recognition of a valuation allowance in a future period. The recognition of a valuation allowance would increase income tax expense and reduce shareholders' equity.
Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") imposes limitations on a corporation's ability to use its NOLs when the company undergoes a 50 percent ownership change over a three-year period. Future transactions and the timing of such transactions could cause an ownership change for Section 382 income tax purposes. Such transactions may include, but are not limited to, additional repurchases under our securities repurchase program, issuances of common stock and acquisitions or sales of shares of CNO stock by certain holders of our shares, including persons who have held, currently hold or may accumulate in the future five percent or more of our outstanding common stock for their own account. Many of these transactions are beyond our control. If an ownership change were to occur for purposes of Section 382, we would be required to calculate an annual restriction on the use of our NOLs to offset future taxable income. The annual restriction would be
52

calculated based upon the value of CNO's equity at the time of such ownership change, multiplied by a federal long-term tax exempt rate (3.68 percent at June 30, 2026), and the annual restriction could limit our ability to use a portion of our NOLs to offset future taxable income or may defer the utilization of such NOLs. We regularly monitor ownership change (as calculated for purposes of Section 382) and, as of June 30, 2026, we were below the 50 percent ownership change level that could limit our ability to utilize our NOLs.
We have $898.7 million of federal NOLs as of June 30, 2026. Our non-life NOLs with no expiration date of $805.5 million can generally be used to offset 35 percent of life insurance company taxable income and 80 percent of non-life company taxable income. Our life NOLs with no expiration date of $93.2 million can be used to offset 80 percent of CNO Bermuda Re, Ltd. taxable income, subject to certain limitations in the Code.
We also had deferred tax assets related to NOLs for state income taxes of $37.1 million and $38.0 million at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The related state NOLs are available to offset future state taxable income in certain states and are expected to be fully utilized prior to expiration.
The Company had a capital loss carryforward of $61.3 million and $53.7 million at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Capital loss carryforwards can be carried forward for up to five years to offset future capital gains. We expect this carryforward to be fully utilized prior to the expiration date in 2030.
The Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") is currently examining the Company's consolidated federal income tax returns for tax years 2016 through 2018 and has notified the Company that tax years 2021, 2022 and 2024 will be subject to examination. The federal statute of limitations generally remains open with respect to tax years 2016 through 2024. The Company evaluates tax positions and records reserves for uncertain tax positions when appropriate. The ultimate resolution of these examinations remains subject to review by the IRS. The Company's various state income tax returns are generally open for tax years based on individual state statutes of limitation. Generally, for tax years which generate NOLs, capital losses or tax credit carryforwards, the statute remains open until the expiration of the statute of limitations for the tax year in which such carryforwards are utilized. The outcome of tax audits cannot be predicted with certainty. If the Company's tax audits are not resolved in a manner consistent with management’s expectations, the Company may be required to adjust its provision for income taxes.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025 was enacted in the United States, which among other things, provides permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, modifications to the international tax framework and the restoration of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others implemented through 2027. These changes primarily impacted the timing of our tax deductions and did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
11. NOTES PAYABLE – DIRECT CORPORATE OBLIGATIONS
The following notes payable were direct corporate obligations of the Company as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 (dollars in millions):

| June 30, 2026 |  | December 31, 2025

Credit Agreement
On May 8, 2025, the Company entered into a sixth amendment and restatement agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with respect to its existing credit agreement. The $250.0 million Credit Agreement, among other things, requires the Company to maintain (each as calculated in accordance with the Credit Agreement): (i) a debt to total capitalization ratio (excluding hybrid securities, except to the extent that the aggregate amount outstanding of all such hybrid securities exceeds an amount equal to 15.0 percent of total capitalization) of not more than 35.0 percent (such ratio was 23.5 percent at June 30, 2026); and (ii) a minimum consolidated net worth of not less than the sum of (x) $2,674.0 million plus (y) 25.0 percent of the net equity proceeds received by the Company from the issuance and sale of equity interests in the Company, including the conversion of debt securities of the Company into equity interests (the Company's consolidated net worth was $3,774.4 million at June 30, 2026 compared to the minimum requirement of $2,675.8 million). The maturity date of the Credit Agreement is May 8, 2030. The Credit Agreement contains certain other restrictive covenants with which the Company must comply. The interest rate applicable to loans under the Credit Agreement is calculated as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") or the base rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement), at the Company's option, plus a margin based on the Company's unsecured debt rating. The applicable margins under the Credit Agreement range from 1.125 percent to 1.750 percent, in the case of loans at the SOFR, and 0.125 percent to 0.750 percent, in the case of loans at the base rate. The commitment fee under the Credit Agreement is based on the Company's unsecured debt rating. The Credit Agreement also provides that the Company may incur up to $200 million of incremental loans (which may include new term loans), subject to conditions that are set forth therein.
As of June 30, 2026, we are in compliance with the covenants of the Credit Agreement. There were no amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement during the six months ended or as of June 30, 2026.
12. INVESTMENT BORROWINGS
Three of the Company's insurance subsidiaries (Bankers Life, Washington National Insurance Company ("Washington National") and Colonial Penn Life Insurance Company ("Colonial Penn")) are members of the FHLB. As members of the FHLB, our insurance subsidiaries have the ability to borrow from the FHLB on a collateralized basis. As of June 30, 2026, collateralized borrowings from the FHLB totaled $2.9 billion and are classified as investment borrowings in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The borrowings are collateralized by investments with an estimated fair value of $3.6 billion at June 30, 2026, which are maintained in a custodial account for the benefit of the FHLB. Substantially all of such investments are classified as fixed maturities, available for sale, in our consolidated balance sheet. The proceeds from these borrowings were used to purchase matched variable rate fixed maturity securities with similar durations.
We are required to hold certain minimum amounts of FHLB common stock as a condition of membership in the FHLB, and additional amounts based on the amount of the borrowings. At June 30, 2026, the carrying value of the FHLB common stock was $128.5 million.

Generally, these borrowings are pre-payable. At June 30, 2026, the aggregate prepayment penalty on such outstanding borrowings was not material.
Interest expense of $56.3 million a nd $53.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, was recognized related to total borrowings from the FHLB, reflecting higher average investment borrowings partially offset by lower interest rates on the variable rate investment borrowings during the six months ended June 30, 2026.
13. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, we repurchased 2.7 million shares of common stock for $120.0 million under our securities repurchase program. The Company had remaining repurchase authority of $300.4 million as of June 30, 2026.
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, we issued 0.9 million shares of common stock, net of shares withheld to pay tax withholdings, pursuant to employee benefit plans.
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, dividends declared on common stock totaled $33.5 million ($0.35 per common share). In May 2026, the Company increased its quarterly common stock dividend to $0.18 per share from $0.17 per share.
Accumulated other comprehensive loss, included in shareholders' equity as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, is comprised of the following (dollars in millions):

| June 30, 2026 |  | December 31, 2025
Net unrealized losses on investments having no allowance for credit losses (a) | $ | (791.5) |  |  | $ | (661.6) |
Unrealized losses on investments with an allowance for credit losses | (1,254.5) |  |  | (1,193.9) |

Change in instrument-specific credit risk for market risk benefits | 0.8 |  |  | 0.9 |
Deferred income tax assets | 338.5 |  |  | 318.5 |
Accumulated other comprehensive loss | $ | (1,182.8) |  |  | $ | (1,115.0) |

________________
(a) The amortized cost and fair value of fixed maturity securities, available for sale, for which we have elected the fair value option were $8.5 million and $8.8 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2026. Accordingly, the net unrealized losses associated with these investments are excluded from accumulated other comprehensive loss. The amortized cost and fair value of fixed maturity securities, available for sale, for which we have elected the fair value option were $12.0 million and $13.0 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2025.

14. LITIGATION AND OTHER LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Legal Proceedings
The Company and its subsidiaries are involved in various legal actions in the normal course of business, in which claims for compensatory and punitive damages are asserted, some for substantial amounts. We recognize an estimated loss from these loss contingencies when we believe it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Some of the pending matters have been filed as purported class actions and some actions have been filed in certain jurisdictions that permit punitive damage awards that are disproportionate to the actual damages incurred. The amounts sought in certain of these actions are often large or indeterminate and the ultimate outcome of certain actions is difficult to predict. In the event of an adverse outcome in one or more of these matters, there is a possibility that the ultimate liability may be in excess of the liabilities we have established and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. In addition, the resolution of pending or future litigation may involve modifications to the terms of outstanding insurance policies or could impact the timing and amount of rate increases, which could adversely affect the future profitability of the related insurance policies. Based upon information presently available, and in light of legal, factual and other defenses available to the Company and its subsidiaries, the Company does not believe that it is probable that the ultimate liability from either pending or threatened legal actions, after consideration of existing loss provisions, will have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial condition, operating results or cash flows. However, given the inherent difficulty in predicting the outcome of legal proceedings, there exists the possibility that such legal actions could have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial condition, operating results or cash flows.
In addition to the inherent difficulty of predicting litigation outcomes, particularly those that will be decided by a jury, some matters purport to seek substantial or an unspecified amount of damages for unsubstantiated conduct spanning several years based on complex legal theories and damages models. The alleged damages typically are indeterminate or not factually supported in the complaint, and, in any event, the Company's experience indicates that monetary demands for damages often bear little relation to the ultimate loss. In some cases, plaintiffs are seeking to certify classes in the litigation and class certification either has been denied or is pending and we have filed oppositions to class certification or sought to decertify a prior class certification. In addition, for many of these cases: (i) there is uncertainty as to the outcome of pending appeals or motions; (ii) there are significant factual issues to be resolved; and/or (iii) there are novel legal issues presented. Accordingly, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of loss in excess of amounts accrued, if any, or predict the timing of the eventual resolution of these matters. The Company reviews these matters on an ongoing basis. When assessing reasonably possible and probable outcomes, the Company bases its assessment on the expected ultimate outcome following all appeals.
On June 7, 2019, Platinum Partners Value Arbitrage Fund L.P. (in Official Liquidation) ("PPVA"), the Joint Official Liquidators of PPVA (the "JOLs") and Principal Growth Strategies, LLC ("PGS" and together with PPVA and the JOLs, "Plaintiffs") commenced suit against, among others, CNO Financial Group, Inc., Bankers Conseco Life Insurance Company ("BCLIC"), Washington National and 40|86 Advisors, Inc. (collectively, the "CNO Parties") in Delaware Chancery Court. Plaintiffs sought an unspecified amount of damages, costs, attorney's fees, and other relief as the court deems appropriate. Plaintiffs alleged that the CNO Parties aided and abetted breaches of fiduciary duties owed to PGS in connection with Agera securities and that the CNO Parties were unjustly enriched when they terminated BCLIC and Washington National's reinsurance agreements with Beechwood Re Ltd. ("BRe") and recaptured assets from reinsurance trusts, in particular, Agera securities. Plaintiffs contended that the Agera securities were fraudulently transferred to the reinsurance trusts by other Platinum-related entities and they sought, among other relief, to claw back those Agera securities, or the value of those assets, from the CNO Parties. On January 25, 2024, the Delaware Chancery Court granted in part and denied in part the CNO Parties’ motion to dismiss the amended complaint. Based on the Court's ruling, PPVA and the JOLs’ claims against the CNO Parties were dismissed. On April 9, 2024, PGS filed a second amended complaint, which contained the same claims against the CNO Parties that PGS had previously asserted. On July 30, 2026, after the CNO Parties obtained significant discovery sanctions against PGS, PGS and the CNO Parties submitted to the Delaware Chancery Court a Stipulation and Proposed Order of Dismissal with Prejudice (the "Dismissal Stipulation"). PGS agreed that the Dismissal Stipulation, which the Delaware Chancery Court granted and placed on the Court’s docket on July 31, 2026, would state, and in fact as filed states: “WHEREAS, based upon the completion of extensive discovery in this matter and the investigation conducted by Plaintiff, Plaintiff has now concluded that under Delaware law the CNO Defendants did not aid and abet any breach of fiduciary duty owed to Plaintiff by its fiduciaries or otherwise engage in any fraudulent or improper conduct directed at Plaintiff with respect to the allegations, conduct, or transactions set forth in the Second Amended Verified Complaint, filed in the Action on April 10,

2024 [], or otherwise.” The Delaware Chancery Court granted the Dismissal Stipulation on July 31, 2026, and the case is now dismissed.
On October 5, 2012, plaintiffs William Jeffrey Burnett and Joe H. Camp commenced an action entitled Burnett v. Conseco Life Ins. Co. against, among others, CNO Financial Group, Inc. and CNO Services, LLC (collectively, the "CNO Entities") in the United States District Court for the Central District of California on behalf of a putative class of former interest-sensitive whole life insurance policyholders who surrendered their policies or let them lapse. Plaintiffs' first amended complaint alleges that the CNO Entities are liable under an alter ego theory for Conseco Life Insurance Company's purported breach of the optional premium payment provision (the "Optional Premium Payment") and other provisions of plaintiffs' insurance policies. In January 2018, the case was transferred to the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana. On August 17, 2020, the Court denied the CNO Entities' motions to dismiss. On January 13, 2021, the Court granted final approval of a class action settlement between plaintiffs and co-defendant Conseco Life Insurance Company (n/k/a Wilco Life Insurance Company). The case remains pending against the CNO Entities. On March 25, 2022, the Court certified a Rule 23(b)(3) class of under 2,000 policyholders who invoked the policy's Optional Premium Payment prior to October 2008 and who surrendered their policies between October 7, 2008 and September 1, 2011. The Court's certification order acknowledged the existence of individualized issues of causation and damages, which the Court stated could be addressed in individualized proceedings following a class trial on the alter ego allegations and the meaning of the subject insurance policy language. A three-day jury trial on causation and damages as to the two class representatives commenced on June 16, 2025, and the jury returned a verdict in favor of the class representatives on June 18, 2025 for approximately $0.2 million collectively. This verdict is notional and contingent and has no preclusive effect on any follow on trials by absent class members in terms of causation and damages. The class representatives' ability to collect any damages from the CNO Entities will depend on the outcome of the bench trial on alter ego liability. The bench trial on alter ego liability was held between August 26 to September 2, 2025, but no ruling has been made yet. The parties prepared post-trial briefing, which was completed at the end of December 2025. Any liability of any kind will depend on the outcome of the alter ego trial, and in the event the court rules in favor of Plaintiffs on that issue, whether absent class members will participate in follow on trials to determine whether they are entitled to damages, and the outcome of those trials. The outcome of all trials will be subject to appeal. Any follow on trials and appeals with respect to absent class members may take years to resolve. The CNO Entities continue to vigorously defend the case.
Regulatory Examinations and Fines
Insurance companies face significant risks related to regulatory investigations and actions. Regulatory investigations generally result from matters related to sales or underwriting practices, payment of contingent or other sales commissions, claim payments and procedures, product design, product disclosure, additional premium charges for premiums paid on a periodic basis, denial or delay of benefits, charging excessive or impermissible fees on products, procedures related to canceling policies, changing the way cost of insurance charges are calculated for certain life insurance products or recommending unsuitable products to customers. We are, in the ordinary course of our business, subject to various examinations, inquiries and information requests from state, federal and other authorities. The ultimate outcome of these regulatory actions, including the costs of complying with information requests and policy reviews, cannot be predicted with certainty. In the event of an unfavorable outcome in one or more of these matters, the ultimate liability may be in excess of liabilities we have established and we could suffer significant reputational harm as a result of these matters, which could also have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

16. INVESTMENTS IN VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
We have concluded that we are the primary beneficiary with respect to certain VIEs, which are consolidated in our financial statements. In consolidating the VIEs, we consistently use the financial information most recently distributed to investors in the VIE.
All of our consolidated VIEs are collateralized loan trusts that were established to issue securities to finance the purchase of commercial bank loans and other permitted investments. The assets held by the trusts are legally isolated and not available to the Company. The liabilities of the VIEs are expected to be satisfied from the cash flows generated by the underlying loans held by the trusts, not from the assets of the Company. The Company has no financial obligation to the VIEs beyond its investment in each VIE.
Interest expense of $7.8 million and $13.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, was recognized related to total borrowings related to the VIEs.
Certain of our subsidiaries are note holders of the VIEs. Another subsidiary of the Company is the investment manager for the VIEs. As such, it has the power to direct the most significant activities of the VIEs which materially impacts the economic performance of the VIEs.

The following table summarizes changes in the allowance for credit losses related to corporate securities held by VIEs (dollars in millions):

| Three months ended |  | Six months ended
| June 30, |  | June 30,
| 2026 |  | 2025 |  | 2026 |  | 2025
Allowance at the beginning of the period | $ | 1.0 |  |  | $ | 2.5 |  |  | $ | 0.6 |  |  | $ | 1.3 |
Additions for securities for which credit losses were not previously recorded | 0.8 |  |  | 0.2 |  |  | 0.9 |  |  | 1.2 |
Additions (reductions) for securities where an allowance was previously recorded | (0.2) |  |  | 0.6 |  |  | 0.2 |  |  | 1.3 |
Reduction for securities disposed during the period | — |  |  | (1.0) |  |  | (0.1) |  |  | (1.5) |
Allowance at the end of the period | $ | 1.6 |  |  | $ | 2.3 |  |  | $ | 1.6 |  |  | $ | 2.3 |

The following table sets forth the amortized cost and estimated fair value of the investments held by the VIEs at June 30, 2026, by contractual maturity. Actual maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without penalties.

| Amortized cost |  | Estimated fair value
| (Dollars in millions)
Due after one year through five years | $ | 142.3 |  |  | $ | 139.7 |
Due after five years through ten years | 153.9 |  |  | 152.6 |
Total | $ | 296.2 |  |  | $ | 292.3 |

During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the VIEs recognized net investment losses of $2.1 million, which were comprised of: (i) $1.1 million of net losses from the sales of fixed maturities and (ii) an increase in the allowance for credit losses of $1.0 million. Such net realized losses included gross realized losses of $1.1 million from the sale of $14.4 million of investments.
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the VIEs recognized net investment losses of $4.3 million which were comprised of: (i) $3.3 million of net losses from the sales of fixed maturities and (ii) an increase in the allowance for credit losses of $1.0 million. Such net realized losses included gross realized losses of $3.5 million from the sale of $54.5 million of investments.
At June 30, 2026, there were no fixed maturity investments held by the VIEs in default.
At June 30, 2026, the VIEs held: (i) investments (for which an allowance for credit losses has not been recorded) with a fair value of $71.8 million and gross unrealized losses not deemed to have credit losses of $0.9 million that had been in an unrealized loss position for less than twelve months, and (ii) investments (for which an allowance for credit losses has not been recorded) with a fair value of $76.1 million and gross unrealized losses of $0.9 million that had been in an unrealized loss position for greater than twelve months.
At December 31, 2025, the VIEs held: (i) investments (for which an allowance for credit losses has not been recorded) with a fair value of $86.7 million and gross unrealized losses of $0.9 million that had been in an unrealized loss position for less than twelve months; and (ii) investments (for which an allowance for credit losses has not been recorded) with a fair value of $34.2 million and gross unrealized losses of $0.3 million that had been in an unrealized loss position for greater than twelve months.
The investments held by the VIEs are evaluated for impairment in a manner that is consistent with the Company's fixed maturities, available for sale.
61

In addition, the Company, in the normal course of business, makes passive investments in structured securities issued by non-consolidated VIEs for which the Company is not the investment manager. These structured securities include asset-backed securities, collateralized loan obligations, commercial mortgage-backed securities, agency residential mortgage-backed securities and non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities. Our maximum exposure to loss on these securities is limited to our cost basis in the investment. We have determined that we are not the primary beneficiary of these structured securities due to the relative size of our investment in comparison to the total principal amount of the individual structured securities and the level of credit subordination which reduces our obligation to absorb gains or losses.
At June 30, 2026, we held investments of $789.3 million in various limited partnerships and limited liability companies, in which we are not the primary beneficiary. These investments are included within other invested assets on the consolidated balance sheet and typically reported to us one quarter in arrears. At June 30, 2026, we had unfunded commitments to these partnerships totaling $692.6 million. Our maximum exposure to loss on these investments is limited to the amount of our investment and any unfunded commitments.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
In this section, we review the consolidated financial condition of CNO as of June 30, 2026, and its consolidated results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, and, where appropriate, factors that may affect future financial performance. Please read this discussion in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year.
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Our statements, trend analyses and other information contained in this report and elsewhere (such as in filings by CNO with the SEC, press releases, presentations by CNO or its management or oral statements) relative to markets for CNO's products and trends in CNO's operations or financial results, as well as other statements, contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements typically are identified by the use of terms such as "anticipate," "believe," "plan," "estimate," "expect," "project," "intend," "may," "will," "would," "contemplate," "possible," "attempt," "seek," "should," "could," "goal," "target," "on track," "comfortable with," "optimistic," "guidance," "outlook," "sustainable," "repeatable," "confident in" and similar words, although some forward-looking statements are expressed differently. You should consider statements that contain these words carefully because they describe our expectations, plans, strategies and goals and our beliefs concerning future business conditions, our results of operations, financial position, and our business outlook or they state other "forward-looking" information based on currently available information. The "Risk Factors" section of our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K provides examples of risks, uncertainties and events that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the expectations expressed in our forward-looking statements.
A wide variety of factors continue to impact financial and economic conditions. Consumer and economic uncertainty due to rapid changes in global trade policies, including the imposition of tariffs and potential changes to existing tariffs, and geopolitical actions are also causing market volatility and heightening inflationary concerns. Reactions to these factors and fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar compared to foreign currencies may result in reduced economic growth in the United States, the targeted nations and globally, increase inflation, disrupt global supply chains and increase volatility in financial markets, including currency and interest rate markets.
Assumptions and other important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in our forward-looking statements include, among other things:
•general economic, market and political conditions and uncertainties, including the performance and fluctuations of the financial markets (including the impact of inflation, market volatility, tariffs, changes in tax laws, changes in commodity prices, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and the impact of a U.S. federal government shutdown), which may affect the value of our investments as well as our ability to raise capital or refinance existing indebtedness and the cost of doing so;
•exposure to interest rate risk, including interest rate volatility, may negatively impact our results of operations, financial position or cash flow;
•future investment results, including the impact of realized losses (including other-than-temporary impairment charges) may diminish the value of our invested assets and negatively impact our profitability, our financial condition and our liquidity;
•the ultimate outcome of lawsuits filed against us and other legal and regulatory proceedings to which we are subject;
•our ability to make anticipated changes to certain non-guaranteed elements of our life insurance products;
•our ability to obtain adequate and timely rate increases on our health products;
•the receipt of any required regulatory approvals for dividend and surplus debenture interest payments from our insurance subsidiaries;
63

•mortality, morbidity, the increased cost and usage of health care services, persistency, the adequacy of our previous reserve estimates, changes in the health care market and other factors which may affect the profitability of our insurance products;
•the recoverability of our deferred tax assets and the effect of potential ownership changes and tax rate changes on their value;
•our assumption that the positions we take on our tax return filings will not be successfully challenged by the IRS;
•changes in accounting principles and the interpretation thereof;
•our ability to continue to satisfy the financial ratio and balance requirements and other covenants of our debt agreements;
•our ability to identify products and markets in which we can compete effectively against competitors with greater market share, higher ratings, greater financial resources and stronger brand recognition;
•our ability to generate sufficient liquidity to meet our debt service obligations and other cash needs;
•changes in capital deployment opportunities;
•our ability to maintain effective controls over financial reporting and modeling;
•our ability to continue to recruit and retain productive agents and distribution partners;
•customer response to new products, distribution channels and marketing initiatives;
•inflation or other unfavorable economic or business conditions may impact the sales and persistency of insurance products, a portion of our insurance policy benefits affected by increased medical coverage costs and various selling, general and administrative expenses;
•our ability to maintain the financial strength ratings of CNO and our insurance company subsidiaries as well as the impact of our ratings on our business, our ability to access capital, and the cost of capital;
•regulatory changes or actions, now or in the future, including, but not limited to: those relating to regulation of the financial affairs of our insurance companies, such as the calculation of risk-based capital and minimum capital requirements, and payment of dividends and surplus debenture interest to us; regulation of the sale, underwriting and pricing of products; health care regulation affecting health insurance products; and privacy laws and regulations;

OVERVIEW
We are a holding company for a group of insurance companies that develop, market and administer health insurance, annuity, individual life insurance and other insurance and financial services products. We focus on serving middle-income pre-retiree and retired Americans, which we believe are attractive, underserved, high growth markets. We sell our products through exclusive agents, independent producers (some of whom sell one or more of our product lines exclusively) and direct marketing.
We view our operations as three insurance product lines (annuity, health and life) and the investment and fee income segments. Our segments are aligned based on their common characteristics, comparability of profit margins and the way the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") makes operating decisions and assesses the performance of the business. Our CODM is the Chief Executive Officer.
Our insurance product line segments (annuity, health and life) include marketing, underwriting and administration of the policies our insurance subsidiaries sell. The business written in each of the three product categories through all of our insurance subsidiaries is aggregated allowing management and investors to assess the performance of each product category. When analyzing profitability of these segments, we use insurance product margin as the measure of profitability, which is: (i) insurance policy income; and (ii) net investment income allocated to the insurance product lines; less (i) insurance policy benefits; (ii) interest credited to policyholders; (iii) amortization of deferred acquisition costs and present value of future profits; (iv) non-deferred commissions; and (v) advertising expense. Net investment income is allocated to the product lines using the book yield of investments backing the block of business, which is applied to the average insurance liabilities, net of insurance intangibles, for the block in each period. Net insurance liabilities for the purpose of allocating investment income to product lines are equal to: (i) policyholder account values for interest sensitive products; (ii) total reserves before the fair value adjustments reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), if applicable, for all other products; less (iii) amounts related to reinsured business; (iv) deferred acquisition costs; (v) the present value of future profits; and (vi) the value of unexpired options credited to insurance liabilities.
Income from insurance products is the sum of the insurance product margins of the annuity, health and life product lines, less expenses allocated to the insurance product lines. It excludes the income from our fee income business, investment income not allocated to product lines, net expenses not allocated to product lines (primarily holding company expenses) and income taxes. Management believes insurance product margin and income from insurance products provides an additional understanding of the business and a more meaningful analysis of the results of our insurance product lines.

We market our products through the Consumer and Worksite Divisions that reflect the customers served by the Company. The Consumer and Worksite Divisions are primarily focused on marketing insurance products, several types of which are sold in both divisions and underwritten in the same manner.
The Consumer Division serves individual consumers, engaging with them on the phone, virtually, online, face-to-face with agents, or through a combination of sales channels. This structure unifies consumer capabilities into a single division and integrates the strength of our agent sales forces with one of the largest direct-to-consumer insurance businesses with proven experience in advertising, web/digital and call center support.
The Worksite Division focuses on the sale of voluntary insurance benefits, including supplemental health and life insurance products in the workplace for businesses, associations, and other membership groups, interacting with customers at their place of employment and virtually. Through our Optavise brand, we guide employers and their employees through their healthcare choices with a suite of voluntary insurance products. In November 2025, we announced our intention to exit the fee services business (which included benefits administration technology, education, and advocacy, and communications services) within our Worksite Division to sharpen our focus on the core insurance business. The exit of the fee services business was substantially complete as of June 30, 2026.
The investment segment involves the management of our capital resources, including investments and the management of corporate debt and liquidity. Our measure of profitability of this segment is the total net investment income not allocated to the insurance products. Investment income not allocated to product lines represents net investment income less: (i) equity returns credited to policyholder account balances; (ii) the investment income allocated to our product lines; (iii) interest expense on notes payable, investment borrowings and financing arrangements; (iv) expenses related to the FABN program; and (v) certain expenses related to benefit plans that are offset by special-purpose investment income; plus (vi) the impact of annual option forfeitures related to fixed indexed annuity surrenders. Investment income not allocated to product lines includes investment income on investments in excess of amounts allocated to product lines, investments held by our holding companies, the spread we earn from our FHLB investment borrowing and FABN programs and variable components of investment income (including call and prepayment income, adjustments to returns on structured securities due to cash flow changes, income (loss) from COLI and alternative investment income not allocated to product lines), net of interest expense on corporate debt and financing arrangements. The spread earned from our FHLB investment borrowing and FABN programs includes the investment income on the matched assets less: (i) interest on investment borrowings related to the FHLB investment borrowing program; (ii) interest credited on funding agreements; and (iii) amortization of deferred acquisition costs related to the FABN program.
Our fee income segment includes the earnings generated from sales of third-party insurance products (primarily Medicare Advantage), services provided to employers through our Worksite Division and the operations of our broker-dealer and registered investment advisor. As a result of exiting the fee services business within our Worksite Division, beginning in the fourth quarter of 2025, the net results of this business are no longer presented within the fee income segment, but are presented within net loss related to divested business within non-operating income. The exit of the fee services business was substantially complete as of June 30, 2026.
Expenses not allocated to product lines primarily include the expenses of our corporate operations, excluding interest expense on debt.

____________
(a)Management believes that an analysis of net income applicable to common stock before: (i) net realized investment gains or losses from disposals, impairments and the change in allowance for credit losses, net of taxes; (ii) net change in market value of investments recognized in earnings, net of taxes; (iii) changes in fair value of embedded derivative liabilities and MRBs related to our fixed indexed annuities, net of taxes; (iv) fair value changes related to the agent deferred compensation plan, net of taxes; (v) gains or losses related to material reinsurance transactions, net of taxes; (vi) loss on extinguishment of debt, net of taxes; (vii) changes in the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets and other tax items; (viii) costs related to our three-year project to modernize certain elements of our technology ("TechMod") that are incremental to our normal spend and will not recur following implementation, net of taxes; (ix) goodwill and other asset impairment expenses, net of taxes; (x) gains or losses related to divested business, net of taxes, and (xi) other non-operating items including earnings attributable to variable interest entities, net of taxes ("net operating income," a non-GAAP financial measure) is important to evaluate the financial performance of the company, and is a key measure commonly used in the life insurance industry. The income tax expense or benefit allocated to the items included in net non-operating income (loss) represents the current and deferred income tax expense or benefit
67

allocated to the items included in non-operating earnings. Management believes this information provides a better understanding of the business and a more meaningful analysis of results of our insurance product lines. The table above reconciles the non-GAAP measure to the corresponding GAAP measure.
In addition, management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in its budgeting process, financial analysis of segment performance and in assessing the allocation of resources. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures enhance an investor's understanding of our financial performance and allow them to make more informed judgments about the Company as a whole. These measures also highlight operating trends that might not otherwise be apparent. However, net operating income is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities, as measures of liquidity, or as an alternative to net income as measures of our operating performance or any other measures of performance derived in accordance with GAAP. In addition, net operating income should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Net operating income has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider such measure either in isolation or as a substitute for analyzing our results as reported under GAAP. Our definition and calculation of net operating income are not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies due to different methods of calculation.
GOVERNMENTAL REGULATION
Refer to "Governmental Regulation" in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 for information on our insurance and other governmental regulatory matters, other than those amended or supplemented here.
Big Data and Artificial Intelligence
The National Association of Insurance Commissions' ("NAIC") Big Data and Artificial Intelligence (H) Working Group is evaluating AI-use outcomes and how well the current regulatory framework addresses potential harms from the use of AI. The goal is to develop an overall AI regulatory framework that could be incorporated into the NAIC regulatory handbook. For example, the (H) working group aims to finalize during 2026 a tool to collect information about an insurer’s use of AI during an examination or investigation. To that end, in March 2026, the (H) Working Group announced a pilot program, to run through September 2026, to field-test the AI Systems Evaluation Tool; 12 states are participating in the pilot program.

(a)Amortization and non-deferred commissions are comprised of: (i) the amortization of deferred acquisition costs and present value of future profits; and (ii) commission expenses that are not directly related to the successful acquisition of new or renewal insurance contracts and, therefore, are not eligible to be deferred. Such non-deferred commissions are included in other operating costs and expenses on the consolidated statement of operations.

General: CNO is the top tier holding company for a group of insurance companies that develop, market and administer health insurance, annuity, individual life insurance and other insurance and financial services products. We view our operations by segments, which consist of insurance product lines. These products are distributed by our two divisions. The Consumer Division serves individual consumers, engaging with them on the phone, virtually, online, face-to-face with agents, or through a combination of sales channels. The Worksite Division focuses on the sale of voluntary benefit life and health insurance products in the workplace for businesses, associations, and other membership groups, interacting with customers at their place of employment and virtually.
Insurance product margin is management's measure of the profitability of its annuity, health and life product lines' performance and consists of insurance policy income plus allocated investment income less insurance policy benefits, interest credited, commissions, advertising expense and amortization of acquisition costs. Income from insurance products is the sum of the insurance product margins of the annuity, health and life product lines, less expenses allocated to the insurance product lines. It excludes the income from our fee income business, investment income not allocated to product lines, net expenses not allocated to product lines (primarily holding company expenses) and income taxes. Management believes insurance product margin and income from insurance products provides an additional understanding of the business and a more meaningful analysis of the results of our insurance product lines.
Net investment income is allocated to the product lines using the book yield of investments backing the block of business, which is applied to the average insurance liabilities, net of insurance intangibles, for the block in each period. Net insurance liabilities for the purpose of allocating investment income to product lines are equal to: (i) policyholder account values for interest sensitive products; (ii) total reserves before the fair value adjustments reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), if applicable, for all other products; less (iii) amounts related to reinsured business; (iv) deferred acquisition costs; (v) the present value of future profits; and (vi) the value of unexpired options credited to insurance liabilities. Investment income not allocated to product lines represents net investment income less: (i) equity returns credited to policyholder account balances; (ii) the investment income allocated to our product lines; (iii) interest expense on notes payable, investment borrowings and financing arrangements; (iv) expenses related to the FABN program; and (v) certain expenses related to benefit plans that are offset by special-purpose investment income; plus (vi) the impact of annual option forfeitures related to fixed indexed annuity surrenders. Investment income not allocated to product lines includes investment income on investments in excess of amounts allocated to product lines, investments held by our holding companies, the spread we earn from our FHLB investment borrowing and FABN programs and variable components of investment income (including call and prepayment income, adjustments to returns on structured securities due to cash flow changes, income (loss) from COLI and alternative investment income not allocated to product lines), net of interest expense on corporate debt and financing arrangements. The spread earned from our FHLB investment borrowing and FABN programs includes the investment income on the matched assets less: (i) interest on investment borrowings related to the FHLB investment borrowing program; (ii) interest credited on funding agreements; and (iii) amortization of deferred acquisition costs related to the FABN program.
Summary of Operating Results: Net operating income was $119.5 million in the second quarter of 2026 compared to $87.5 million in the second quarter of 2025, and was $220.8 million in the first six months of 2026 compared to $168.6 million in the first six months of 2025.
Return on equity ("ROE") is equal to the trailing four quarters of net income divided by average shareholders' equity. As of June 30, 2026, our ROE was 10.9 percent compared to 11.9 percent as of June 30, 2025. Operating ROE (a non-GAAP measure) is equal to the trailing four quarters of net operating income divided by average shareholders' equity, excluding accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and net operating loss carryforwards. As of June 30, 2026, our operating ROE, excluding significant items, was 13.1 percent compared to 11.2 percent as of June 30, 2025. Our 2026 operating ROE is expected to exceed the three-year target of 12 percent we had previously established for year-end 2027.
Insurance product margin was $279.0 million in the second quarter of 2026 compared to $252.4 million in the second quarter of 2025, and was $535.9 million in the first six months of 2026 compared to $501.3 million in the first six months of 2025. Total net investment income (comprised of investment income allocated and not allocated to products) increased 8 percent to $327.5 million in the second quarter of 2026 as compared to $302.7 million in the second quarter of 2025, and 7 percent to $642.7 million in the first six months of 2026 compared to $601.4 million in the first six months of 2025 as a result of growth in the business and higher alternative investment income. Fluctuations by product line and investment income not allocated to products are discussed in greater detail in the narratives that follow.
The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was 21.4 percent.

Total allocated and unallocated expenses are summarized in the table below (dollars in millions):

| Three months ended |  | Six months ended
| June 30, |  | June 30,
| 2026 |  | 2025 |  | 2026 |  | 2025
Expenses allocated to product lines | $ | 152.9 |  |  | $ | 149.4 |  |  | $ | 312.8 |  |  | $ | 310.6 |
Expenses not allocated to product lines | 23.3 |  |  | 25.3 |  |  | 42.7 |  |  | 45.6 |
Adjusted total | $ | 176.2 |  |  | $ | 174.7 |  |  | $ | 355.5 |  |  | $ | 356.2 |

Total allocated and unallocated expenses in the first six months of 2026 were down slightly as compared to the same period in the prior year. Our expense ratio was 18.7 percent and 19.4 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. We generally experience seasonally higher expenses during the first quarter; however, timing of certain expenses incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2026 offset the seasonal increases historically experienced in the first half of the year. The expense ratio is defined as total allocated and unallocated expenses (excluding any significant items) divided by the sum of insurance policy income and net investment income allocated to products.
The fee income segment is summarized below (dollars in millions):

| Three months ended |  | Six months ended
| June 30, |  | June 30,

Total fee income segment: |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Fee revenue | 18.5 |  |  | 33.5 |  |  | 61.3 |  |  | 80.9 |
Operating costs and expenses | (19.7) |  |  | (32.7) |  |  | (51.9) |  |  | (80.9) |
Net fee income (loss) | $ | (1.2) |  |  | $ | 0.8 |  |  | $ | 9.4 |  |  | $ | — |

Net Consumer Division fee income decreased from income of $7.4 million in the second quarter of 2025 to a loss of $1.2 million in the second quarter of 2026 primarily due to a decrease in Medicare Advantage third-party sales resulting from a continued shift in customer preference towards Medicare supplement products. In addition, fee income decreased $3.0 million for an experience adjustment in the second quarter of 2026. Net Consumer Division fee income decreased $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 due to decreased Medicare Advantage third-party sales, partially offset by lower experience adjustments. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2025, as a result of exiting the fee services business within our Worksite Division, the net results of this business are no longer reflected within operating income, but are reflected within non-operating income.

Margin from fixed indexed annuities increased $3.8 million in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2025, and $9.5 million in the first six months of 2026 compared to the first six months of 2025 due to increased spread income, partially offset by higher amortization from growth in the block. Spread income has increased due to growth in the block and increased spread rates. Average net insurance liabilities (policyholder account balances less: (i) amounts related to reinsured business; (ii) deferred acquisition costs; (iii) present value of future profits; and (iv) the value of unexpired options credited to insurance liabilities) were $11,316.3 million and $10,543.4 million in the second quarters of 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $11,210.2 million and $10,314.6 million in the first six months of 2026 and 2025, respectively, driven by deposits and reinvested returns in excess of withdrawals. The increase in net insurance liabilities results in higher net investment income allocated. The earned yield was 4.85 percent in the second quarter of 2026 which was flat to second quarter of 2025, and was 4.85 percent in the first six months of 2026 up from 4.82 percent in the first six months of 2025, reflecting higher portfolio yields.
Net investment income and interest credited exclude the change in market values of the underlying options supporting the fixed indexed annuity products and corresponding offsetting amount credited to policyholder account balances. Such amounts were $146.8 million and $70.4 million in the second quarters of 2026 and 2025, respectively, and were $88.1 million and $6.9 million in the first six months of 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Margin from fixed interest annuities decreased $0.2 million in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2025, and $1.0 million in the first six months of 2026 compared to the first six months of 2025. Average net insurance liabilities were $1,568.4 million in the second quarter of 2026 compared to $1,591.7 million in the second quarter of 2025, and were $1,574.4 million in the first six months of 2026 compared to $1,595.6 million in the first six months of 2025, driven by withdrawals in excess of deposits and reinvested returns. The decrease in investment income results from the decrease in the average net insurance liabilities and the slight decrease in the earned yield. The earned yield was 5.46 percent and 5.48 percent in the second quarter of 2026 and 2025, respectively, and was 5.43 percent in the first six months of 2026, down from 5.44 percent in the first six months of 2025.
Margin from other annuities increased $2.2 million in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2025, and increased $1.3 million in the first six months of 2026 compared to the first six months of 2025. The margin on this relatively small block of business is sensitive to annuitant mortality related to contracts with life contingencies. An increase in mortality in this block will result in a decrease in insurance liabilities and insurance policy benefits. In the second quarter of 2026, we experienced higher annuitant mortality on a few larger policies in a closed block of payout annuities which reduced insurance policy benefits.

Margin from supplemental health business increased $1.5 million in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2025, and $7.1 million in the first six months of 2026 compared to the first six months of 2025, reflecting the growth in the block. As a result of a handful of large claims on older policies in the second quarter of 2026, morbidity was slightly higher than the prior year period. For the first six months of 2026, morbidity was lower than the prior year period. The margin as a percentage of insurance policy income was 37 percent in the second quarter of 2026 and in the prior year period, and was 37 percent in the first six months of 2026 and 36 percent in the first six months of 2025.

Our supplemental health products (including specified disease, accident and hospital indemnity products) generally provide fixed or limited benefits. For example, payments under cancer insurance policies are generally made directly to, or at the direction of, the policyholder following diagnosis of, or treatment for, a covered type of cancer. Approximately two-thirds of our supplemental health policies inforce (based on policy count) are sold with return of premium or cash value riders. The return of premium rider generally provides that after a policy has been inforce for a specified number of years or upon the policyholder reaching a specified age, we will pay to the policyholder, or a beneficiary under the policy, the aggregate amount of all premiums paid under the policy, without interest, less the aggregate amount of all claims incurred under the policy. The cash value rider is similar to the return of premium rider, but also provides for payment of a graded portion of the return of premium benefit if the policy terminates before the return of premium benefit is earned. Accordingly, the net cash flows from these products generally result in the accumulation of amounts in the early years of a policy (reflected in our earnings as reserve increases which is a component of insurance policy benefits) which will be paid out as benefits in later policy years (reflected in our earnings as reserve decreases which offset the recording of benefit payments). As the policies age, insurance policy benefits will typically increase, but the increase in benefits will be partially offset by investment income earned on the accumulated assets.
Margin from Medicare supplement business increased $8.3 million in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2025, and $3.3 million in the first six months of 2026 compared to the first six months of 2025. The margin as a percentage of insurance policy income was 22 percent in the second quarter of 2026 compared to 18 percent in the prior year period, and was 18 percent in the first six months of 2026 and 2025. The increase in the Medicare supplement margin is primarily due to growth in the block, favorable morbidity and the implementation of rate increases during the first half of the year. In addition, the second quarter of 2026 margin included favorable morbidity from better than expected first quarter claims development. We are able to re-rate our Medicare Supplement business annually. Each year we review experience and regulatory requirements to arrive at appropriate rate actions.
We continue to invest in both our Medicare supplement products and Medicare Advantage distribution to meet our customers' needs and preferences. We receive fee income when Medicare Advantage policies of other carriers are sold, which is recorded in our fee income segment.
Medicare supplement business consists of both individual and group policies. Government regulations generally require we attain and maintain a ratio of total benefits incurred to total premiums earned (excluding changes in policy benefits reserves which is a component of insurance policy benefits) of not less than 65 percent on individual products and not less than 75 percent on group products. The ratio is determined after three years from the original issuance of the policy and over the lifetime of the policy and measured in accordance with statutory accounting principles. Since the insurance product liabilities we establish for Medicare supplement business are subject to significant estimates, the ultimate claim liability we incur for a particular period is likely to be different than our initial estimate. Changes to our estimates are reflected in insurance policy benefits in the period the change is determined.
Margin from Long-term care products increased $3.4 million in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2025, and $9.2 million in the first six months of 2026 when compared to the first six months of 2025. The margin as a percentage of insurance policy income was 53 percent in the second quarter of 2026 compared to 52 percent in the second quarter of 2025, and was 52 percent in the first six months of 2026 and 49 percent in the first six months of 2025. The increase in margin in the second quarter and the first six months of 2026 is primarily due to growth in the business from sales of our short duration Long-Term Care Fundamental product, as well as lower morbidity. The average benefit period for policies sold in the second quarter of 2026 is 13 months and 99 percent are policies with two years or less in benefits. In addition, effective October 1, 2024, we retain 100 percent of our long-term care new business as we discontinued ceding 25 percent of long-term care new business under a reinsurance agreement (this did not impact the inforce business that we previously ceded). As a result, margins have increased since October 2024 and we expect them to continue to grow in future years as earnings emerge from the sales.

Margin from interest-sensitive life business increased $4.5 million in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2025, and $3.2 million in the first six months of 2026 compared to the first six months of 2025. The increases in margins in 2026, as compared to the same periods in 2025 reflect lower insurance policy benefits and higher insurance policy income from modest growth in the block.
The interest margin was $0.3 million in the second quarter of 2026, compared to $0.2 million in the second quarter of 2025, and was $0.9 million in the first six months of 2026, compared to $1.2 million in the first six months of 2025. The earned yield was 4.99 percent and 5.02 percent in the second quarter of 2026 and 2025, respectively, and 5.00 percent and 5.05 percent in the first six months of 2026 and 2025, respectively. Interest credited to policyholders may be changed annually but is subject to minimum guaranteed rates and, as a result, any reduction in our earned rate may not be fully reflected in the rate credited to policyholders.
Net investment income and interest credited exclude the change in market values of the underlying options supporting the fixed indexed life products and corresponding offsetting amount credited to policyholder account balances. Such amounts were $15.0 million and $9.1 million in the second quarter of 2026 and 2025, respectively, and were $9.2 million and $2.4 million in the first six months of 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Margin from traditional life business increased $3.1 million in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2025, and increased $2.0 million in the first six months of 2026 compared to the first six months of 2025. Excluding the impacts of a model refinement during the first quarter of 2025, the adjusted margin for the six months ended June 30, 2025
76

was $79.0 million. The increases in the margins in 2026 compared to the margin in the second quarter of 2025 and the adjusted margin in the first six months of 2025 primarily reflect lower advertising expense, growth in the business and lower mortality.
Advertising expense was $17.5 million in the second quarter of 2026, down from $18.7 million in the comparable period in 2025, and was $35.8 million in the first six months of 2026, down from $39.9 million in the comparable period in 2025. We are disciplined with our marketing expenditures and will increase or decrease our marketing spend depending on the current economics of the purchase or other factors, including the effectiveness of advertising spend. Lower advertising expenses reflect a shift to lower cost and more effective advertising alternatives, which include web, digital, and commission based third-party distribution channels.

The above table reconciles investment income not allocated to product lines to net investment income. Net investment income is made up of net investment income from general account assets and policyholder and other special-purpose portfolios. Investment income not allocated to product lines will generally fluctuate from period to period based on the performance of our alternative investments (which are typically reported one quarter in arrears); the earnings related to the investments underlying our COLI; the spread we earn from our FHLB investment borrowing and FABN programs; the level of prepayment income (including call premiums) and trading account income; and the impact of annual option forfeitures related to fixed indexed annuity surrenders. The increases in the 2026 periods compared to the same periods in 2025, are primarily due to an increase in alternative investment results, increased spread income on the FHLB and FABN programs, and higher gains on option forfeitures from annuity surrenders, partially offset by unfavorable changes in other components of investment income not allocated to product lines.
Net Non-Operating Income (Loss):
The following summarizes our net non-operating income (loss) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 (dollars in millions):

| Three months ended |  | Six months ended
| June 30, |  | June 30,
| 2026 |  | 2025 |  | 2026 |  | 2025
Net realized investment losses from disposals, impairments and change in allowance for credit losses | $ | (13.6) |  |  | $ | (21.8) |  |  | $ | (28.8) |  |  | $ | (35.0) |
Net change in market value of investments recognized in earnings | (1.1) |  |  | 3.4 |  |  | (8.6) |  |  | 9.8 |
Changes in fair value of embedded derivative liabilities and market risk benefits | 34.6 |  |  | 25.2 |  |  | (7.8) |  |  | (44.4) |
Expenses related to TechMod initiative | (9.7) |  |  | (3.2) |  |  | (23.4) |  |  | (3.2) |
Net loss related to divested business | (1.1) |  |  | — |  |  | (3.0) |  |  | — |

Net non-operating loss before taxes | $ | 8.7 |  |  | $ | 5.7 |  |  | $ | (72.8) |  |  | $ | (71.1) |

Net realized investment losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 were $13.6 million and $28.8 million, including a net increase in the allowance for credit losses of $3.4 million and $12.8 million, respectively. Net realized investment losses in the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, were $21.8 million and $35.0 million, respectively, including increases in the allowance for credit losses of $1.0 million and $10.5 million, respectively.
The change in market value of investments recognized in earnings was $(1.1) million and $3.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025, respectively, and was $(8.6) million and $9.8 million for the six months ended
79

June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025, respectively. The change in value will fluctuate from period to period based on market conditions.
During the second quarter of 2026, we recognized an increase in pre-tax earnings of $34.6 million, resulting from changes in the fair value of embedded derivative liabilities and MRBs related to our fixed indexed annuities, compared to $25.2 million in the second quarter of 2025. We recognized a decrease in pre-tax earnings of $7.8 million and $44.4 million in the first six months of 2026 and 2025, respectively. Such amounts include the impacts of changes in market interest rates, equity impacts and equity volatility used to determine the estimated fair values of the embedded derivatives and MRBs.
During the second quarter of 2026, we incurred $9.7 million of expenses related to TechMod, compared to $3.2 million in the second quarter of 2025. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, we incurred $23.4 million of TechMod-related expenses, compared to $3.2 million in the prior year period. TechMod is a three-year initiative that began in 2025 to modernize certain elements of our technology. These expenses relate primarily to data conversion and migration activities associated with the implementation of our modernized insurance administrative platforms. The costs also include discrete external consulting fees for project management support specialized implementation capabilities that we do not maintain internally, as well as certain temporary duplicate vendor costs incurred while legacy and modernized systems operate in parallel. These costs were incremental to our normal spend and will not recur following implementation. We exclude these costs from operating income because they are directly attributable to a defined, finite modernization initiative and are not expected to continue once the project is completed. Management believes this presentation provides meaningful information to investors by improving period-over-period comparability and by facilitating an assessment of our ongoing operating performance absent the temporary impact of these project-specific costs.
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, we incurred a $3.0 million loss related to our exit from the fee services side of the Worksite Division business, of which $1.1 million was incurred during the second quarter. In addition to exit costs, this loss includes operating losses for the quarter. Operating losses prior to the fourth quarter of 2025 were reported in operating income as a component of fee income. The exit of the fee services business was substantially complete as of June 30, 2026.
2026 OUTLOOK
We are raising full-year operating earnings per share guidance and either improving or reaffirming our previously disclosed 2026 guidance, as discussed below.
Given our strong first-half results and confidence in the underlying performance of the business, we are increasing our operating earnings per diluted share guidance to be in the range of $4.60 to $4.80, excluding any significant items in the year (as compared to our previous guidance of $4.25 to $4.45). We are narrowing our expense ratio to be in the range of 18.8 percent to 19.0 percent (as compared to our previous guidance of 18.8 percent to 19.2 percent), reflecting improved operating leverage from continued strong sales results. We expect fee income of approximately $30 million for the year with roughly a third in the first half of the year, minimal contribution in the third quarter, and the balance in the fourth quarter. Fee income will benefit from the exit of the Worksite Division fee services business as explained below. We are lowering the effective tax rate assumption to approximately 21.5 percent (as compared to our previous guidance of 22.5 percent), primarily driven by favorable non-recurring tax deductions and the continued benefit of tax planning initiatives executed during the first half of the year.
In November 2025, the Company announced its intention to exit the fee services business within its Worksite Division to sharpen its focus on the core insurance business. The Worksite Division fee services business includes benefits administration technology, education, advocacy, and communications services. The exit was substantially complete as of June 30, 2026. The Company expects the exit from this business to reduce annual fee revenue by roughly $30 million (less than 1 percent of total revenue) and increase annual pre-tax income by roughly $20 million.
Our 2026 operating ROE is expected to exceed the three-year target of 12 percent we had previously established for year-end 2027.
We expect free cash flows to be in the range of $200 million to $250 million. We expect to continue to manage to: (i) a consolidated RBC ratio in the range of 360 percent to 390 percent for our U.S. based insurance subsidiaries; (ii) minimum holding company liquidity of $150 million; and (iii) a target debt to total capital, excluding accumulated other comprehensive loss, in the range of 25 percent to 28 percent.
80

In the second quarter of 2025, we began TechMod, a three-year initiative to modernize certain elements of our technology, enabling continued growth of the business over the long-term. The initiative is expected to cost approximately $170 million over three years, including approximately $76 million in 2026. The outlook metrics previously described include the expected impact of this initiative.
We expect to establish new operating ROE targets when we update our outlook in February 2027.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our capital structure as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 was as follows (dollars in millions):

| June 30, 2026 |  | December 31, 2025
Total capital: |  |  |
Corporate notes payable | $ | 1,336.3 |  |  | $ | 1,335.6 |
Shareholders’ equity: |  |  |
Common stock | 0.9 |  |  | 0.9 |
Additional paid-in capital | 1,227.4 |  |  | 1,336.3 |
Accumulated other comprehensive loss | (1,182.8) |  |  | (1,115.0) |
Retained earnings | 2,546.1 |  |  | 2,416.0 |
Total shareholders’ equity | 2,591.6 |  |  | 2,638.2 |
Total capital | $ | 3,927.9 |  |  | $ | 3,973.8 |

The following table summarizes certain financial ratios as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025:

| June 30, 2026 |  | December 31, 2025
Book value per common share | $ | 27.96 |  |  | $ | 27.92 |
Book value per common share, excluding accumulated other comprehensive loss (a) | 40.72 |  |  | 39.72 |
Debt to total capital ratios: |  |  |
Corporate debt to total capital | 34.0 | % |  | 33.6 | %
Corporate debt to total capital, excluding accumulated other comprehensive loss (a) | 26.1 | % |  | 26.2 | %

________________
(a)This non-GAAP measure differs from the corresponding GAAP measure presented immediately above, because accumulated other comprehensive loss has been excluded from the value of capital used to determine this measure. Management believes this non-GAAP measure is useful because it removes the volatility that arises from changes in accumulated other comprehensive loss. Such volatility is often caused by changes in the estimated fair value of our investment portfolio resulting from changes in general market interest rates rather than the business decisions made by management. However, this measure does not replace the corresponding GAAP measure.
Liquidity for Insurance Operations
Our insurance companies generally receive adequate cash flows from premium collections and investment income to meet their obligations. Life insurance, long-term care and supplemental health insurance and annuity liabilities are generally long-term in nature. Life and annuity policyholders may, however, withdraw funds or surrender their policies, subject to any applicable penalty provisions; there are generally no withdrawal or surrender benefits for long-term care insurance. We actively manage the relationship between the duration of our invested assets and the estimated duration of benefit payments arising from contract liabilities.

Three of the Company's insurance subsidiaries (Bankers Life, Washington National and Colonial Penn) are members of the FHLB. As members of the FHLB, our insurance subsidiaries have the ability to borrow from the FHLB on a collateralized basis. As of June 30, 2026, collateralized borrowings from the FHLB totaled $2.9 billion and are classified as investment borrowings in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The borrowings are collateralized by investments with an estimated fair value of $3.6 billion at June 30, 2026, which are maintained in custodial accounts for the benefit of the FHLB. The proceeds from these borrowings were used to purchase variable rate fixed maturity securities with similar durations to generate spread-based earnings.
We are required to hold certain minimum amounts of FHLB common stock as a condition of membership in the FHLB, and additional amounts based on the amount of the borrowings. As of June 30, 2026, the carrying value of the FHLB common stock was $128.5 million.
Bankers Life has a FABN program pursuant to which Bankers Life may issue funding agreements to a Delaware statutory trust organized in series (the "Trust") to generate spread-based earnings. Under current authorizations, the maximum aggregate principal amount of funding agreements permitted to be outstanding at any one time under the FABN program is $4 billion. Bankers Life issued funding agreements each to a series of the Trust in a principal amount of $300 million in June 2026 and $350 million and $400 million in September and December 2025, respectively. During January 2025, a $400 million funding agreement was repaid at maturity. The aggregate principal amount of funding agreements outstanding at June 30, 2026 was $3.7 billion. The activity related to the funding agreements is reported in investment income not allocated to product lines.
State laws generally give state insurance regulatory agencies broad authority to protect policyholders in their jurisdictions. Regulators have used this authority in the past to restrict the ability of our insurance subsidiaries to pay any dividends or other amounts without prior approval. We cannot be assured that the regulators will not seek to assert greater supervision and control over our insurance subsidiaries' businesses and financial affairs.
Our estimated consolidated statutory RBC ratio of our U.S. based insurance subsidiaries was 377 percent at June 30, 2026, compared to 380 percent at December 31, 2025. In the first six months of 2026, the RBC ratio reflected our estimated consolidated statutory operating income of $58.4 million. Our RBC ratio at June 30, 2026 was within our targeted RBC ratio range of 360 percent to 390 percent that is reflected in our risk appetite statement that we share and discuss with rating agencies and insurance regulators. We believe that the target RBC ratio range continues to adequately support our financial strength and credit ratings.
In 2023, we formed CNO Bermuda Re, Ltd. ("CNO Bermuda Re"), a Bermuda exempted company, which is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of CNO. CNO Bermuda Re is registered by and subject to the supervision of the Bermuda Monetary Authority ("BMA") as a Class C insurer under the Bermuda Insurance Act 1978 and its related rules and regulations, each as amended. Pursuant to the Capital and Liquidity Maintenance Agreement (as amended, "CLMA") between CNO Bermuda Re and CDOC, CDOC will contribute funds to CNO Bermuda Re in the event: (i) CNO Bermuda Re's statutory economic capital and surplus is less than 150 percent of its enhanced capital requirement at the end of any calendar quarter; or (ii) CNO Bermuda Re's liquid assets are insufficient to meet its contractual obligations to ceding insurers, in each case, unless one or more ceding insurers has provided notice of recapture pursuant to the terms of the applicable reinsurance agreement between it and CNO Bermuda Re and such recapture will cause CNO Bermuda Re to meet (i) and (ii) above. Further, CNO Bermuda Re may not pay any dividends or make any capital distributions to its parent within the five years following the 2023 reinsurance transaction unless approved by the BMA. CNO Bermuda Re is subject to regulation in Bermuda where the BMA has broad supervisory and administrative powers relating to granting and revoking licenses to transact reinsurance business, the approval of specific reinsurance transactions, capital requirements and solvency standards, limitations on dividends or distributions to shareholders, the nature of and limitations on investments, and the filing of financial statements in accordance with prescribed or permitted accounting practices. Future regulatory changes made by the BMA or other events may impact the capital efficiency of the reinsurance structures and could require the holding company to contribute additional capital to CNO Bermuda Re or the ceding reinsurers to recapture the ceded business.
Our insurance subsidiaries transfer exposure to certain risk to others through reinsurance arrangements. When we obtain reinsurance, we are still liable for those transferred risks in the event the reinsurer defaults on its obligations. The failure, insolvency, inability or unwillingness of one or more of the Company's reinsurers to perform in accordance with the terms of its reinsurance agreement could negatively impact our earnings or financial position and our consolidated statutory RBC ratio.

Financial Strength Ratings of our Insurance Subsidiaries
Financial strength ratings provided by Fitch Ratings ("Fitch"), S&P, Moody's Investor Services, Inc. ("Moody's"), and AM Best Company ("AM Best") are the rating agency's opinions of the ability of our insurance subsidiaries to pay policyholder claims and obligations when due.
Moody's affirmed its "A3" financial strength ratings of our primary insurance subsidiaries on June 19, 2026. The outlook for these ratings remains stable. Moody’s financial strength ratings range from "Aaa" to "C". These ratings may be supplemented with numbers "1", "2", or "3" to show relative standing within a category. In Moody's view, an insurer rated "A" offers good financial security, however, certain elements may be present which suggests a susceptibility to impairment in the future. Moody's has 21 possible ratings. There are six ratings above the "A3" rating of our primary insurance subsidiaries and 14 ratings that are below that rating.
On April 8, 2026, AM Best affirmed its "A" financial strength ratings of our primary insurance subsidiaries and the outlook for these ratings remains stable. The "A" rating is assigned to companies that have an excellent ability, in AM Best's opinion, to meet their ongoing obligations to policyholders. AM Best ratings for the industry currently range from "A++ (Superior)" to "D (In Liquidation)" and some companies are not rated. AM Best has 13 possible ratings. There are two ratings above the "A" rating of our primary insurance subsidiaries and ten ratings that are below that rating.
Fitch affirmed its "A" financial strength ratings of our primary insurance subsidiaries on October 21, 2025. The outlook for these ratings remains stable. An insurer rated "A", in Fitch's opinion, indicates a low expectation of ceased or interrupted payments and indicates strong capacity to meet policyholder and contract obligations. This capacity may, nonetheless, be more vulnerable to changes in circumstances or in economic conditions than is the case for higher ratings. Fitch ratings for the industry range from "AAA Exceptionally Strong" to "D Distressed" and some companies are not rated. Pluses and minuses show the relative standing within a category. Fitch has 24 possible ratings. There are five ratings above the "A" rating of our primary insurance subsidiaries and 18 ratings that are below that rating.
S&P affirmed its "A-" financial strength ratings of our primary insurance subsidiaries on June 24, 2025. The outlook for these ratings remains stable. S&P financial strength ratings range from "AAA" to "D" and some companies are not rated. An insurer rated "A", in S&P's opinion, has strong financial security characteristics, but is somewhat more likely to be affected by adverse business conditions than are insurers with higher ratings. Pluses and minuses show the relative standing within a category. S&P has 22 possible ratings. There are six ratings above the "A-" rating of our primary insurance subsidiaries and 15 ratings that are below that rating.
Rating agencies have increased the frequency and scope of their credit reviews and requested additional information from the companies that they rate, including us. They may also adjust upward the capital and other requirements employed in their rating models for maintenance of certain ratings levels. We cannot predict what actions rating agencies may take, or what actions we may take in response. Accordingly, downgrades and outlook revisions related to us or the life insurance industry may occur in the future at any time and without notice by any rating agency. These could increase policy surrenders and withdrawals, adversely affect relationships with our distribution channels, reduce new sales, reduce our ability to borrow and increase our future borrowing costs.
Liquidity of the Holding Companies
Availability and Sources and Uses of Holding Company Liquidity; Limitations on Ability of Insurance Subsidiaries to Make Dividend and Surplus Debenture Interest Payments to the Holding Companies; Limitations on Holding Company Activitie s
CNO and CDOC, Inc. ("CDOC", our wholly owned subsidiary and the immediate parent of Washington National and Conseco Life Insurance Company of Texas ("CLTX")) are holding companies with no business operations of their own; they depend on their operating subsidiaries for cash to make principal and interest payments on debt, and to pay administrative expenses and income taxes. CNO and CDOC receive cash from insurance subsidiaries, consisting of dividends and distributions, interest payments on surplus debentures and tax-sharing payments, as well as cash from non-insurance subsidiaries consisting of dividends, distributions, loans and advances. The principal non-insurance subsidiaries that provide cash to CNO and CDOC are 40|86 Advisors, Inc., which receives fees from the insurance subsidiaries for investment services, and CNO Services, LLC which receives fees from the insurance subsidiaries for providing administrative services. The
83

agreements between our insurance subsidiaries and CNO Services, LLC and 40|86 Advisors, Inc., respectively, were previously approved by the domestic insurance regulator for each insurance company, and any payments thereunder do not require further regulatory approval. Refer to "Liquidity for Insurance Operations" above regarding the CLMA and limitations on
CNO Bermuda Re's ability to pay dividends to CDOC.
At June 30, 2026, CNO, CDOC and our other non-insurance subsidiaries held $233.2 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, which was above our minimum target level of $150 million.
The ability of our U.S. based insurance subsidiaries to pay dividends is subject to state insurance department regulations and is based on the financial statements of our insurance subsidiaries prepared in accordance with statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by regulatory authorities, which differ from GAAP. These regulations generally permit dividends to be paid from statutory earned surplus of the insurance company without regulatory approval for any 12-month period in amounts equal to the greater of (or in some states, the lesser of): (i) statutory net gain from operations or net income for the prior year; or (ii) 10 percent of statutory capital and surplus as of the end of the preceding year. However, as Washington National and CLTX, the immediate U.S. based insurance subsidiaries of CDOC, have significant negative earned surplus, any dividend payments from the insurance subsidiaries require the prior approval of the director or commissioner of the applicable state insurance department. Washington National and CLTX receive funds to pay dividends primarily from: (i) the earnings of their direct businesses; (ii) tax sharing payments received from subsidiaries (if applicable); and (iii) with respect to CLTX, dividends received from subsidiaries. Bankers Conseco Life Insurance Company, Bankers Life and Colonial Penn are wholly-owned subsidiaries of CLTX. Colonial Penn has significant negative earned surplus, and would therefore require prior approval to pay a dividend. Colonial Penn has not paid dividends in recent years. Bankers Life has modest earned surplus at June 30, 2026 and, depending on the size of the dividend, could require prior approval to pay a dividend. Bankers Conseco Life Insurance Company has minimal earned surplus, but consistently has positive earnings. As a result, a limited amount of dividends can be paid without prior approval. CNO Bermuda Re may not pay any dividends or make any capital distributions to its parent within the five years following the 2023 reinsurance transaction unless approved by the BMA. In the first six months of 2026, our U.S. based insurance subsidiaries paid dividends to CDOC totaling $55.5 million. We expect to receive regulatory approval for future dividends from our subsidiaries, but there can be no assurance that such payments will be approved or that the financial condition of our insurance subsidiaries will not change, making future approvals less likely. In the first six months of 2026, CDOC made capital contributions of $35.5 million to its insurance subsidiaries.
CDOC holds surplus debentures from CLTX with an aggregate principal amount of $749.6 million. Interest payments on those surplus debentures do not require additional approval provided the RBC ratio of CLTX exceeds 100 percent (but do require prior written notice to the Texas Department of Insurance). The estimated RBC ratio of CLTX was 331 percent at June 30, 2026. CDOC also holds a surplus debenture from Colonial Penn with a principal balance of $160.0 million. Interest payments on that surplus debenture require prior approval by the Pennsylvania Insurance Department. Dividends and other payments from our non-insurance subsidiaries, including 40|86 Advisors, Inc. and CNO Services, LLC, to CNO or CDOC do not require approval by any regulatory authority or other third party. However, insurance regulators may prohibit payments by our insurance subsidiaries to parent companies if they determine that such payments could be adverse to our policyholders or contractholders.
A significant deterioration in the financial condition, earnings or cash flow of the material subsidiaries of CNO or CDOC for any reason could hinder such subsidiaries' ability to pay cash dividends or other disbursements to CNO and/or CDOC, which, in turn, could limit CNO's ability to meet debt service requirements and satisfy other financial obligations. In addition, we may choose to retain capital in our insurance subsidiaries or to contribute additional capital to our insurance subsidiaries to maintain or strengthen their surplus or fund reinsurance transactions, and these decisions could limit the amount available at our top tier insurance subsidiaries to pay dividends to the holding companies.
At June 30, 2026, there were no amounts outstanding under our $250.0 million Credit Agreement and there are no scheduled repayments of our direct corporate obligations until May 2029.
Free cash flow is a measure of holding company liquidity and is calculated as: (i) dividends, management fees and surplus debenture interest payments received from our subsidiaries; plus (ii) earnings on corporate investments; less (iii) interest expense, corporate expenses and net tax payments. During the twelve months ended June 30, 2026, we generated approximately $354.2 million of such free cash flow, of which $36.6 million was generated during the first six months of 2026. The Company expects to deploy its free cash flow into investments to accelerate profitable growth, common stock dividends and share repurchases. The amount and timing of future share repurchases (if any) will be based on business and market conditions and
84

other factors including, but not limited to, available free cash flow, the current price of our common stock and investment opportunities. In the first six months of 2026, we repurchased 2.7 million shares of common stock for $120.0 million under our securities repurchase program. The Company had remaining repurchase authority of $300.4 million as of June 30, 2026.
In the first six months of 2026, dividends declared on common stock totaled $33.5 million ($0.35 per common share). In May 2026, the Company increased its quarterly common stock dividend to $0.18 per share from $0.17 per share.
Moody's affirmed its "Baa3" rating on our senior unsecured debt on June 19, 2026. The outlook for these ratings remains stable. In Moody's view, obligations rated "Baa" are subject to moderate credit risk and may possess certain speculative characteristics. A rating is supplemented with numerical modifiers "1", "2" or "3" to show the relative standing within a category. Moody's has a total of 21 possible ratings ranging from "Aaa" to "C". There are nine ratings above CNO's "Baa3" rating and 11 ratings that are below its rating.
On April 8, 2026, AM Best affirmed its "bbb" rating on our issuer credit and senior unsecured debt and the outlook for these ratings is stable. In AM Best's view, a company rated "bbb" has an adequate ability to meet the terms of its obligations; however, the issuer is more susceptible to changes in economic or other conditions. Pluses and minuses show the relative standing within a category. AM Best has a total of 21 possible ratings ranging from "aaa (Exceptional)" to "c (In default)". There are eight ratings above CNO's "bbb" rating and 12 ratings that are below its rating.
Fitch affirmed its "BBB+" and "BBB" ratings on our issuer credit and senior unsecured debt ratings, respectively, on October 21, 2025. The outlook for these ratings is stable. In Fitch's view, an obligation rated "BBB" indicates that expectations of default risk are currently low. The capacity for payment of financial commitments is considered adequate but adverse business or economic conditions are more likely to impair this capacity. Pluses and minuses show the relative standing within a category. Fitch has a total of 24 possible ratings ranging from "AAA" to "D". There are seven ratings above CNO's "BBB+" rating and 16 ratings that are below its rating. There are eight ratings above CNO's "BBB" rating and 15 ratings that are below its rating.
S&P affirmed its "BBB-" rating on our issuer credit and senior unsecured debt on June 24, 2025. The outlook for these ratings remains stable. In S&P's view, an obligation rated "BBB" exhibits adequate protection parameters. However, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity of the obligor to meet its financial commitment on the obligation. Pluses and minuses show the relative standing within a category. S&P has a total of 22 possible ratings ranging from "AAA (Extremely Strong)" to "D (Payment Default)". There are nine ratings above CNO's "BBB-" rating and 12 ratings that are below its rating.
We believe that the existing cash available to the holding company, the cash flows to be generated from operations and other transactions will be sufficient to allow us to meet our debt service obligations, pay corporate expenses and satisfy other financial obligations. However, our cash flow is affected by a variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control, including insurance regulatory issues, competition, financial markets and other general business conditions. We cannot provide assurance that we will possess sufficient income and liquidity to meet all of our debt service requirements and other holding company obligations.

________________
(a)Investment ratings are assigned the second lowest rating by Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations ("NRSROs") (Moody's, S&P or Fitch), or if not rated by such firms, the rating assigned by the NAIC. NAIC designations of "1" or "2" include fixed maturities generally rated investment grade (rated "Baa3" or higher by Moody's or rated "BBB-" or higher by S&P and Fitch). NAIC designations of "3" through "6" are referred to as below-investment grade (which generally are rated "Ba1" or lower by Moody's or rated "BB+" or lower by S&P and Fitch). References to investment grade or below-investment grade throughout our consolidated financial statements are determined as described above.
(b) Certain structured securities rated below-investment grade by NRSROs may be assigned a NAIC 1 or NAIC 2 designation based on the cost basis of the security relative to estimated recoverable amounts as determined by the NAIC. Refer to the table below for a summary of our fixed maturity securities, available for sale, by NAIC designations.
86

The NAIC evaluates the fixed maturity investments of insurers for regulatory and capital assessment purposes and assigns securities to one of six credit quality categories called NAIC designations, which are used by insurers when preparing their annual statements based on statutory accounting principles. The NAIC designations are generally similar to the credit quality designations of the NRSROs for marketable fixed maturity securities, except for certain structured securities. However, certain structured securities rated below investment grade by the NRSROs can be assigned NAIC 1 or NAIC 2 designations depending on the cost basis of the holding relative to estimated recoverable amounts as determined by the NAIC. The following summarizes the NAIC designations and NRSRO equivalent ratings:

NAIC Designation |  | NRSRO Equivalent Rating
1 |  | AAA/AA/A
2 |  | BBB
3 |  | BB
4 |  | B
5 |  | CCC and lower
6 |  | In or near default

A summary of our fixed maturity securities, available for sale, by NAIC designations (or for fixed maturity securities held by non-regulated entities, based on NRSRO ratings) as of June 30, 2026 is as follows (dollars in millions):

Below-Investment Grade Securities
At June 30, 2026, the amortized cost of the Company's below-investment grade fixed maturity securities, available for sale, was $1,092.6 million, or 4 percent, of the Company's fixed maturity portfolio. The estimated fair value of the below-investment grade portfolio was $1,037.8 million, or 95 percent, of the amortized cost. Based on the credit quality ratings assigned by the NAIC: (i) the amortized cost of our below-investment grade fixed maturities was $872.1 million, or 3 percent, of our fixed maturity portfolio; and (ii) the estimated fair value of such below-investment grade fixed maturities was $805.2 million, or 92 percent, of the amortized cost.
Below-investment grade corporate debt securities typically have different characteristics than investment grade corporate debt securities. Based on historical performance, probability of default by the borrower is significantly greater for below-investment grade corporate debt securities and in many cases severity of loss is relatively greater as such securities are generally unsecured and often subordinated to other indebtedness of the issuer. Also, issuers of below-investment grade corporate debt securities frequently have higher levels of debt relative to investment-grade issuers, hence, all other things being equal, are generally more sensitive to adverse economic conditions. The Company attempts to reduce the overall risk related to its investment in below-investment grade securities, as in all investments, through careful credit analysis, strict investment policy guidelines, and diversification by issuer and/or guarantor and by industry.

Structured Securities
At June 30, 2026, fixed maturity investments included structured securities with an estimated fair value of $7.8 billion, which represents 32 percent of all fixed maturity securities. The yield characteristics of structured securities generally differ in some respects from those of traditional corporate fixed-income securities or government securities. For example, interest and principal payments on structured securities may occur more frequently, often monthly. In many instances, we are subject to variability in the amount and timing of principal and interest payments. For example, in many cases, partial prepayments may occur at the option of the issuer and prepayment rates are influenced by a number of factors that cannot be predicted with certainty, including: the relative sensitivity of prepayments on the underlying assets backing the security to changes in interest rates and asset values; the availability of alternative financing; a variety of economic, geographic and other factors; the timing, pace and proceeds of liquidations of defaulted collateral; and various security-specific structural considerations (for example, the repayment priority of a given security in a securitization structure). In addition, the total amount of payments for non-agency structured securities may be affected by changes to cumulative default rates or loss severities of the related collateral.
The amortized cost and estimated fair value of structured securities at June 30, 2026, summarized by type of security, were as follows (dollars in millions):

|  |  | Estimated fair value
| Amortized cost |  | Amount |  | Percent of fixed maturities
Asset-backed securities | $ | 1,989.8 |  |  | $ | 1,946.9 |  |  | 7.9 | %
Agency residential mortgage-backed securities | 711.5 |  |  | 717.3 |  |  | 2.9 |
Non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities | 1,474.5 |  |  | 1,426.2 |  |  | 5.8 |
Collateralized loan obligations | 1,597.7 |  |  | 1,597.8 |  |  | 6.5 |
Commercial mortgage-backed securities | 2,192.9 |  |  | 2,082.4 |  |  | 8.5 |
Total structured securities | $ | 7,966.4 |  |  | $ | 7,770.6 |  |  | 31.6 | %

Residential mortgage-backed securities ("RMBS") include transactions collateralized by agency-guaranteed and non-agency mortgage obligations. Non-agency RMBS investments are primarily categorized by underlying borrower credit quality: Prime, Alt-A, Non-Qualified Mortgage ("Non-QM"), and Subprime. Prime borrowers typically default with the lowest frequency, Alt-A and Non-QM default at higher rates, and Subprime borrowers default with the highest frequency. In addition to borrower credit categories, RMBS investments include Re-Performing Loan ("RPL") and Credit Risk Transfer ("CRT") transactions. RPL transactions include borrowers with prior difficulty meeting the original mortgage terms and were subsequently modified, resulting in a sustainable payback arrangement. CRT securities are collateralized by Government-Sponsored Enterprise ("GSE") conforming mortgages and Prime borrowers, but without an agency guarantee against default losses.
Commercial mortgage-backed securities ("CMBS") are secured by commercial real estate mortgages, generally income producing properties that are managed for profit. Property types include, but are not limited to, multi-family dwellings including apartments, retail centers, hotels, restaurants, hospitals, nursing homes, warehouses, and office buildings. While most CMBS have call protection features whereby underlying borrowers may not prepay their mortgages for stated periods of time without incurring prepayment penalties, recoveries on defaulted collateral may result in involuntary prepayments.
Net Realized and Unrealized Investment Losses
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the $89.2 million of gross realized losses on sales of $2,793.4 million of fixed maturity securities, available for sale, primarily related to various corporate securities.
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we recognized $24.6 million of realized losses on sales of $525.1 million of fixed maturity securities, available for sale, primarily related to various corporate securities and commercial mortgage-backed securities.

Future events may occur, or additional information may become available, which may necessitate future realized losses in our portfolio. Significant losses could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements in future periods.
The following table sets forth the amortized cost and estimated fair value of those fixed maturities, available for sale, with unrealized losses at June 30, 2026, by contractual maturity. Actual maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without penalties. Structured securities frequently include provisions for periodic principal payments and permit periodic unscheduled payments.

Our investment strategy is to manage, over a sustained period and within acceptable parameters of quality and risk, capital efficiency through active strategic asset allocation and investment management. Accordingly, we may sell securities at a gain or a loss to enhance the projected total return of the portfolio as market opportunities change, to reflect changing
91

perceptions of risk, or to better match certain characteristics of our investment portfolio with the corresponding characteristics of our insurance liabilities.
